Angiotropic lymphoma is a rare lymphoproliferative disease that affects vessels of all organs especially including the skin and central nervous system. We report a 67-year-old woman with angiotropic B cell lymphoma. Examination revealed striking telangiectasia on the skin of the chest and upper back as the major manifestation. She also had subacute slight disorientation.<br>Laboratory abnormalities showed elevated serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) (2027U/l) . A skin biopsy from the telangiectasia revealed the presence of many intravascular, large, atypical lymphoid cells with hyperchromatic nuclei.<br>On immunohistochemical analysis, neoplastic cells showed reactivity for CD20 but not CD45RO. These findings were consistent with angiotropic B cell lymphoma. By combination chemotherapy (VAB-COP: cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, etoposide, vincristin, bleomycin and prednisolone), the telangiectasia and disorientation were dramatically improved during the follow-up period. An early diagnosis and subsequent combinatio chemotherapy may contribute to longer survival in angiotropic lymphoma. [Skin Cancer (Japan) 2002; 17: 293-295]
