=====Clinical=====
*Often a non-specific presentation.<ref name=pmid11579120>{{cite journal |author=Lapkuviene O, Forchetti D, Roepke JE |title=Unusual sites of involvement by hematologic malignancies. Case 1.

**+/-Fever.
**+/-Multiple infarcts.
**+/-Non-specific skin lesions.
====Microscopic====
Features:
*Abundant atypical intravascular lymphoid cells that are:
**Large (~2-3X size of a mature lymphocyte or RBC).
**Nucleolus prominent.
Notes:
*It may be hard to find RBCs in the vessels.
*Looks sorta like a [[DLBCL]] -- but is intravascular.
