Lymphoma is an uncommon diagnosis in EUS\u2010FNA of the pancreas, and it is more common for such a diagnosis to be because of secondary involvement of the pancreas by a lymphoproliferative disorder than for this to represent isolated primary pancreatic lymphoma (PPL).

Rapid onsite evaluation (ROSE) was carried out by a trained cytopathologist in all these cases.
