A case of intravascular malignant lymphomatosis (angiotropic large cell lymphoma), T cell type was reported. The patient, a 59-year-old woman, had reddish or violaceous indurated macules scattered over the entire body surface. Neither lymphadenopathy nor hepatosplenomegaly was recognized. A chest Roentgenogram, whole body CT scan, and 67Ga-citrate scintigraphy yielded normal findings. Serum anti-HTLV-1 antibody was negative. Histopathologically, lesions showed intravascular large mononuclear cell proliferation associated with occasional fibrin thrombi formation in the dermis to subcutis. Immunohistochemically, the large mononuclear cell immuno-phenotype had a memory T cell character. Also, both lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1s, CD11a and CD18, and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 were demonstrated on the tumor cells and vascular walls in the lesions. To our knowledge, the present case is the fourth case of intravascular malignant lymphomatosis in the T cell lineage.
