title: Peripheral blood hemophagocytosis in an unusual lymphoma.
abstract: We describe a patient with fever, pancytopenia, and hepato-splenomegaly associated with the finding of neoplastic lymphoid cells and histiocytes with hemophagocytosis in the peripheral smear; the diagnostic features were suggestive for a biological overlap between a large B-cell lymphoma with intravascular involvement and the Asian variant of intravascular B-cell lymphoma.
