Confusion
- […] morphologic similarity of the malignant intravascular cells and peripheral blood cells, as well as the demonstration of surface membrane immunoglobulin on malignant blood cells suggested that, in some cases, unusual features of malignant lymphoma may be confused[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Anemia was detected and the patient showed recurrent episodes of confusion and disorientation. The search for an underlying malignancy including bone marrow examination revealed no abnormalities. Upon admission he was alert and slightly confused.[myslide.es]
- […] ligament . abdominopelvic sarcoma of perivascular epitheloid cells [2] primary extrapulmonary sugar tumour [2] Thus, it has been advocated that the above could be classified PEComas. [1] PEComas are rare and can have myriad features; therefore, they can be confused[en.wikipedia.org]

- Two weeks later, the patient was readmitted with increased confusion, headaches, lower extremity paresis, and gait instability.[ajnr.org]
Workup
- Because brain biopsies are not routinely included in the diagnostic workup of non-neoplastic CNS diseases, a number of unconfirmed nonvasculitic conditions may mimic PACNS.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

X-Ray
Pulmonary Infiltrate
- The absence of pulmonary infiltrates precluded any lung biopsy. Autopsy revealed malignant angioendotheliomatosis involving multiple organs including the alveolar septa and pulmonary vasculature.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Serum
Anisocytosis
- The blood smear showed eryth- rocyte anisocytosis with rare schistocytes. The persistence of anasarca despite normalization of the serum albumin, along with evidence of DIC, suggested a small vessel process. Skin and muscle biopsies were obtained.[myslide.es]
Karyotype Abnormal
- In addition, cytogenetic analysis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells revealed the presence of circulating malignant cells with karyotype abnormalities similar to those seen in some lymphomas and leukemias.[documents.mx]
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate Abnormal
- Patients fre- quently develop numerous abnormalities, including hy- poalbuminemia, hyponatremia, hypochloremia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, abnormal liver and renal function test results, and positive serology for rheumatoid factor and antinuclear[documents.mx]
Treatment
- Although malignant angioendotheliomatosis is usually fatal, early treatment with chemotherapeutic agents is helpful. We review the characteristics and treatment of this uncommon disorder and present an illustrative case.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- The primary involvement of the skin has been suggested to have a significantly better prognosis overall (for review see (5)).[medicaljournals.se]
- Reactive angioendotheliomatosis has a good prognosis and usually regresses when the underlying disease, if discovered, is successfully treated. The disease sometimes regresses spontaneously. The prognosis depends on the underlying cause.[emedicine.medscape.com]

Pathophysiology
- In the former, thromboplastins re- leased from intracytoplasmic granules of leukemic cells are thought to trigger the coagulation mechanism.19 In the latter, the pathophysiology is less clear, although the initiation of DIC may be related to the function[myslide.es]

- Some challenge the notion of IVLBCL concomitantly involving the CNS extravascularly due to the fact that they are thought to have absent surface adhesion molecules CD29, CD54 (ICAM-1), and CD11a, preventing them from being able to cross small CNS vessels[jpatholtm.org]
