Key result
Nodal disease drives most lymphoma-associated tumor thrombi in a 14-patient series.
Case Report (n=14)
Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of tumor thrombus with solid organ involvement when imaging features suggest lymphoma.
May support including lymphoma in tumor thrombus differentials on suggestive imaging; leaves open prevalence and criteria pending larger studies.
OBJECTIVE: We present a case series of 14 patients with lymphoma presenting with tumor thrombus to highlight this rare but important manifestation of lymphoma. CONCLUSION: The dominant mass leading to tumor thrombus formation was nodal disease in nine patients and extranodal disease in five patients. Lymphoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis in the setting of tumor thrombus with solid organ involvement when there are other imaging features suggestive of lymphoma.

Chauhan et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Lymphoma presenting with tumor thrombus (n=14). Among 14 patients with lymphoma presenting with tumor thrombus, the dominant mass leading to thrombus formation was nodal disease in 9 patients and extranodal disease in 5 patients.
