  • Title: Malignant intravascular lymphomatosis associated with venous stenosis. Case report.
    Author: Amagasaki K, Yamazaki H, Ohmori K, Koizumi H, Hashizume K, Sasaguchi N.
    Journal: J Neurosurg; 1999 Feb; 90(2):355-8. PubMed ID: 9950508.
    Abstract:
    This 55-year-old man presented with malignant intravascular lymphomatosis, a rare vascular disorder of the central nervous system characterized by proliferation of malignant lymphoma cells. The clinical manifestations were focal neurological signs and progressive dementia. Angiography demonstrated stenoses of the cortical veins. Postmortem examination revealed infiltration of tumor cells into the lumen and vascular wall, although the stenoses were caused primarily by fibrin thrombi. To the authors' knowledge this is the first case of malignant intravascular lymphomatosis associated with venous stenosis.
