[Bilateral encasement of the internal saphenous vein in a patient with lymphoma].
Sonographic findings in a case of bilateral, almost symmetrical encasement of the terminal segment of the great saphenous vein by superficial sub-inguinal lymphomatous masses are presented. Duplex and color Doppler sonography also demonstrated abnormal Doppler signals within the mass. When peripheral, coalescent nodal masses are detected surrounding intact normal vessels, malignant lymphoma should be suspected.
