The relationships between DLBCL and Pancreatitis seldom been discussed before. A case of a 58-year-old male man presenting with severe abdominal pain and elevated pancreatic enzyme, who diagnosed as acute pancreatitis first but DLBCL later after pathological biopsy, was reported in this paper. Methods: General laboratory examinations, whole body PET-CT, thyroid tumor biopsy and immunohistochemistry, bone marrow examination, cytogenetic analysis, and PCR were performed. Results: After standard treatment of pancreatitis and R-CHOP regiment chemotherapy, his abdominal pain relieved and extranodal tumors greatly reduced. Conclusion: The possibility of DLBCL should be reminded when distinguishing a patient presenting as acute pancreatitis with no obvious cause or poor therapeutic effect despite standard therapy.
