Adequacy of Single Random Skin Biopsy With Subcutaneous Sampling for the Diagnosis of Intravascular Lymphoma

Key Points

• To evaluate the effectiveness of a single random skin biopsy with subcutaneous sampling for diagnosing intravascular lymphoma.
• Evaluated biopsy locations at the abdomen and thigh.
• Assessed the presence of adequate subcutaneous fat in specimens.
• Analyzed the correlation between fat presence and lymphoma cell detection.
• A single biopsy site is sufficient for most patients.
• Adequate subcutaneous fat increases detection rates of lymphoma cells.
