Primary large cell lymphoma of the splenic sinuses: a variant of angiotropic B-cell lymphoma (neoplastic angioendotheliomatosis)?
A case of large cell lymphoma of B-cell lineage originating in the splenic sinuses is described. In addition to widening the spectrum of primary malignant lymphomas of the spleen, this case raises the possibility that variants of angiotropic large cell lymphomas may exist that do not involve blood vessels but do involve the spleen and lymph node sinuses.
