    Abstract:
    A 78-year-old female was found to have angiotropic lymphoma, a rare fatal disease, with initial symptoms of oculomotor nerve palsy. A biopsy of the paranasal sinus mucosa showed that the small vessels were occupied by large mononuclear cells which upon immunohistochemical examination tested positive for pre B-cell markers. She felt a gradually increasing pain in her left thigh. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested the involvement of neoplastic cells in the left femoral bone marrow. Following chemotherapy treatment remission was achieved. Early diagnosis of angiotropic lymphoma appears very significant, as this disorder could be well controlled by systemic chemotherapy.
