Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="ccr3124-abs-0002"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>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 of a biological overlap between a large B‐cell lymphoma with intravascular involvement and the Asian variant of intravascular B‐cell lymphoma. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" id="ccr3124-blkfxd-0001" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh3jkh7t3m" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
