Primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL) is a rare disease, accounting for only 0.5% of all masses. A paucity literature exists on the epidemiology and outcomes PPL. Here, we present series 523 cases PPL obtained from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database.Patients diagnosed with 1973 to 2007 were identified. Data patient tumor characteristics as well initial treatment surgery or radiation extracted. Survival rates calculated using Kaplan-Meier method. multivariate analysis was performed determine independent prognostic factors predicting mortality hazard ratios Cox proportional hazards modeling.Fifty-eight percent patients identified male. The median age range at diagnosis 65 69 years. most common histologic subtype in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which accounted 56% patients. 5-year overall survival group 45%. Multivariate suggests that more than 60 years diagnosis, race "other" (compared "white"), marital status single widowed predictive increased all-cause (P<0.05).This represents largest published Age years, female sex, married decreased mortality.
