Radiologic, microscopic and immunohistochemical findings of the arterial thrombus and the bone marrow. CT scan with contrast showed filling defect of both femoral artery (Panel a, arrow) and dilated femoral vein (Panel a, arrowhead). Coronal image shows the proximal end of the thrombus in the left femoral artery (Panel b, arrow). Microscopic evaluation of the left femoral artery thrombus revealed fibrinoid necrotic lesion in the interior surrounded by large atypical lymphoid cells on the surface (Panel c; staining with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)). Lymphoid cells were positive for CD20 and CD79a (Panel d) but were negative for CD3 (Panel e), which is characteristic to B cells. Bone marrow specimen revealed infiltration of large atypical lymphoid cells within small vessels (Panel f; H&E). Lymphoid cells within the small vessels were positive for CD79a (Panel g)
