  • Title: Peripancreatic lymph node enlargement in Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and pancreatic carcinoma.
    Author: Costello P, Duszlak EJ, Kane RA, Lee RG, Clouse ME.
    Journal: J Comput Tomogr; 1984 Jan; 8(1):1-11. PubMed ID: 6362986.
    Abstract:
    The distribution of enlarged lymph nodes in the upper abdomen and retroperitoneum were classified according to their relationship to the pancreas in 47 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma; in nine patients with Hodgkin's disease; and in 40 patients with pancreatic carcinoma. Four patterns of lymph node enlargement were evident: (1) preaortic retropancreatic lymphadenopathy; (2) pancreaticosplenic lymphadenopathy; (3) isolated celiac and/or portal lymphadenopathy; and (4) diffuse extensive lymphadenopathy. Features differentiating lymphoma from primary pancreatic neoplasm are discussed.
