Abstract

We describe a case of stage I_E diffuse small cleaved B-cell lymphoma involving primarily the head of pancreas in a patient with chronic malabsorption as a result of short bowel syndrome. The association of chronic malabsorption with lymphoma and other cancer is reviewed. The possible role of dietary fat as an etiologic link to this association is speculated.
