Radiological-Pathological Correlation in Plasmablastic Lymphoma in an Immunocompromised Patient

Figure 1

At clinical examination the patient shows proptosis, downward displacement of eye, periorbital swelling, and redness (a). MRI fat-suppressed coronal T2-weighted (b, c) and axial T1-weighted images (d) show an inhomogeneous hypointense mass located in the lateral aspect of the right orbit that extends to the nose and ethmoid sinus with intense and heterogeneous contrast enhancement (e). H&E stain of the tumor shows a monomorphic proliferation of plasmablastic cells (f).
