Primary Pancreatic Lymphoma

Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is of very rare occurrence as an extra nodal site of Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). It represents less than 1% of NHL. Out of which Burkitt lymphoma of pancreas is of a rare presentation. It usually occurs in children and presenting in adults is uncommon. The prevalence of pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma is not known as the incidence is significantly low. Clinical features of PPL are predominantly nonspecific and can become difficult with associated inflammation of pancreas. Differentiation of lymphoma to adenocarcinoma is important as chemotherapy is the main stay of treatment in lymphoma. We report a case of 68-year-old female who presented with nonspecific symptoms and was found to have obstructive jaundice secondary to pancreatic head neoplasm which was proved to be pancreatic Burkitt lymphoma which is a rare presentation.

Primary Pancreatic Lymphoma

Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is an extremely rare disease, with few cases reported in literature. Clinical manifestations are usually nonspecific and mimic other pancreatic diseases. Owing to paucity of data and experience of PPL, clinico-pathological features, differential diagnosis, optimal treatment and overall outcomes are not well known. Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is known to cause varicella in children and herpes zoster in adults. Acute pancreatitis caused by VZV is a rare and serious complication, with immunocompromised individuals being primarily affected. We report a case of VZV associated acute pancreatitis in a patient who was diagnosed and treated for primary pancreatic lymphoma, thus rendering her immunocompromised and susceptible to developing infectious pancreatitis. A 56 year old female patient presented with recurrent vomiting, upper abdominal pain and hyperaesthesia in the right upper quadrant of 2 days duration. Following admission her right sided abdominal pain worsened (stabbing pain) and a diagnosis of acute pancreatitis was confirmed based on elevated serum amylase levels and CT scan findings of pancreatic enlargement. The patient was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids, antibiotics, analgesics and topical acyclovir ointment. The patient continues to be asymptomatic after 5 years of follow up. Though extremely rare, a diagnosis of herpes zoster pancreatitis should be considered in such patients, and prompt treatment initiated to prevent further deterioration and to minimize mortality. Core tip: Primary pancreatic lymphoma is in itself a very rare disease, and our patient having presented with herpes zoster associated acute pancreatitis in a background of PPL makes this case even rarer. This is probably the first case report of herpes zoster associated acute pancreatitis in an immunocompromised patient due to primary pancreatic lymphoma.

This case report illustrates the treatment outcomes of a collegiate athlete presenting with an 18-month history of post-concussion syndrome who received a series of mixed manual therapies in isolation of other therapy. Persistent symptoms were self-reported as debilitating, contributing to self-removal from participation in school, work, and leisure activities. Patient and parent interviews captured the history of multiple concussions and other sports-related injuries. Neurological screening and activities of daily living were baseline measured. Post-Concussion Symptom Checklist and Headache Impact Test-6™ were utilized to track symptom severity. Treatments applied included craniosacral therapy, manual lymphatic drainage, and glymphatic techniques. Eleven treatment sessions were administered over 3 months. Results indicated restoration of oxygen saturation, normalized pupil reactivity, and satisfactory sleep. Post-concussion syndrome symptom severity was reduced by 87% as reflected by accumulative Post-Concussion Symptom Checklist scores. Relief from chronic headaches was achieved, reflected by Headache Impact Test-6 scores. Restoration of mood and quality of life were reported. A 6-month follow-up revealed symptoms remained abated with full re-engagement of daily activities. The author hypothesized that post-concussion syndrome symptoms were related to compression of craniosacral system structures and lymphatic fluid stagnation that contributed to head pressure pain, severe sleep deprivation, and multiple neurological and psychological symptoms. Positive outcomes over a relatively short period of time without adverse effects suggest these therapies may offer viable options for the treatment of post-concussion syndrome.

Pathology Reports

Internal root resorption (IRR) refers to a slow or rapid progressive resorption process that occurs in the pulp cavity of the tooth or the dentin of the root. IRR occurs as result of odontoclast action; in many cases, the pulp tissue exhibits chronic inflammation, and odontoblasts and predentin do not appear on the dentin wall near the pulp. Exact predisposing factors have not been clearly elucidated; therefore, it is difficult to identify reliable data on the prevalence of IRR because of its scarce occurrence and pathology. Reports have indicated that IRR is more common in the primary than in the permanent teeth. This case report discusses a 17-year-old girl with multiple idiopathic internal root resorptions of anterior permanent teeth in a short period of a time and its management.
