“…On PET/CT, the location and size of PBL are similar to other imaging modalities. The common imaging feature with PET/CT demonstrates hypermetabolic activity in gallbladder or bile duct without other metastatic areas ( 129 , 130 ). PET/CT is a preferred choice for staging lymphoma and helpful for differentiating PBL from secondary lymphoma and other diseases, particularly cholecystitis.…”

Primary hepatopancreatobiliary lymphoma (PHPBL) is extremely rare, which is defined as a lympho-proliferative disease confined to the hepatobiliary system and pancreas without any involvement of lymph nodes, bone marrow, or other organs. The clinical and imaging manifestations of PHPBL are variable and non-special, which are akin to those of tumors of the hepatobiliary and pancreatic systems. The overall prognosis and management of PHPBL differ from those of other tumors in the hepatobiliary system and pancreas. Proper diagnosis and prompt treatment are essential for improving clinical outcomes. Due to its rarity, the optimal treatment has not been issued. However, combination chemotherapy is considered as a standard treatment for them. This review provides an overview of the pathogenesis, diagnosis, pathology, and management of PHPBL and offers clinicians the diagnosis and management schedule for PHPBL.
