Summary
Angiotropic large cell lymphoma, a rare vascular malignancy, can affect nerves and muscles. This report details a case diagnosed antemortem via biopsy, offering crucial diagnostic insights.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Neuropathology
- Vascular Biology
Background:
- Angiotropic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare malignancy characterized by lymphoid cell proliferation within blood vessels.
- Commonly affects skin and central nervous system; peripheral nerve and skeletal muscle involvement is less frequent.
- Simultaneous skeletal muscle and peripheral nerve involvement is exceptionally rare, often diagnosed post-mortem.
