Abstract:
An unusual case of angiotrophic lymphoma diagnosed initially in the uterus is described. Immunohistochemical studies documented the intravascular tumor cells in the myometrium to be of B lymphocytic origin. The patient's bone marrow was hypercellular, and cytogenetic studies of the aspirate revealed a subpopulation of cells with multiple clonal chromosomal abnormalities. To our knowledge, this is the first case to document abnormal cytogenetic findings in this uncommon malignancy.
