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.

Abstract

A single RSB location, either at the abdomen or thigh, is adequate for diagnosing IVL in most patients under appropriate conditions. Biopsied specimens should have adequate subcutaneous fat to increase the likelihood of detecting lymphoma cells.
