We report a case of angiotropic (intravascular) large B-cell lymphoma in an 84-year-old woman who underwent diagnostic procedures for progressive, painful induration of the legs. Physical examination and imaging studies revealed only widespread telangiectasias and significant panniculities-like lymphedema of the legs, with no masses or lymphadenopathies. The patient achieved a complete clinical remission after the first three cycles of polychemotherapy. Although angiotropic lymphoma is a rare entity with polymorphic clinical presentations, its early diagnosis appears very important since it may be curable with appropriate chemotherapy regimens.
