Pseudo-thrombophlebitic syndrome is a frequent clinical entity but many times insufficiently diagnosed. Described more than a century ago by Baker it is characterized for being clinically undistinguishable from a true thrombophlebitis, being its cause the presence of a synovial cyst in the knee joint (Baker's cyst) which can be complicated or not (breakage or dissection). Diagnosis is easy and is based mainly in echography and arthrography. The anticoagulant therapy used in true thrombophlebitis is contraindicated in this syndrome.

We report the case history of a female patient suffering of a T lymphoblastic lymphoma with an atypical presentation and evolution, consisting of pleuropericardiac effusion without mediastinic masses that coexists with a plasma cell dyscrasia that fulfils the criteria for stationary multiple myeloma. The possible pathogenic relationship between both processes is discussed, emphasizing the functional evolutive dissociation between the cellular constituents of both neoplasias, immature T lymphoblasts and plasma cells, respectively; this constitutes the first reported case in literature.
