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 lymph ad en opathy; (2) pancreatico-splenic lymphadenopathy;
(3) isolated celiac and/ or portal lymphadenopathy; and (4) diffuse extensive lymphadenopathy.
Features differentiating lymphoma from primary pancreatic neoplasm are discussed.
