title: Tumor thrombus as a rare presentation of lymphoma: a case series of 14 patients.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We present a case series of 14 patients with lymphoma presenting with tumor thrombus to highlight this rare but important manifestation of lymphoma.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The dominant mass leading to tumor thrombus formation was nodal disease in nine patients and extranodal disease in five patients. Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the setting of tumor thrombus with solid organ involvement when there are other imaging features suggestive of lymphoma.
