    Abstract:
    A 48-year-old man was admitted to our hospital due to multiple cranial neuropathy such as vertigo, hearing loss of the left ear, visual loss of the left eye, left ptosis and total ophthalmoplegia of the left eye. Brain MRI revealed no abnormalities. After 10 days, he suddenly showed hemophagocytic syndrome with high fever, liver dysfunction, jaundice and pancytopenia. In spite of the treatment, he died of multiple organ failure after 26 days. At autopsy, malignant lymphoma cells of T cell origin directly invaded into the liver, spleen, intraperitoneal lymph nodes and other organs. Reports that direct invasion of lymphoma cells could be detected at the cranial nerves in the cavernous sinus are very rare.
