ABSTRACT
We report a case of angiocentric lymphoma in a 41-year-old female who complained chiefly of a genital ulcer and a bulging conjunctiva on the right eye. She had a history of a re-current oral ulcer over a 5 year period and a genital ulcer over 3 years. The above manifested clinical findings may suggest Behcet's disease. However, a biopsy from the upper vaginal wall and the inferior turbinate showed that atypical small and large lymphocytes with hyper-chromatic, elongated and convoluted nuclei had aggregated around the thickened blood vessels, which is consistent with angiocentric lymphoma. Immunophenotypically, the atypical cells were positive for pan T-cell markers not B-cells. Serologically, the patient showed a high titer of i?B virus viral capsid antigen(VCA) IgG.
