Summary Angiotropic lymphoma can present as a vascular disease in the central nervous system. The patient described in this report had a sudden pain in the region of the right superficial peroneal nerve and a nerve biopsy showed tumoral cells in the lumen of most small blood vessels. This pathology, first described in the skin as malignant angioendotheliomatosis, can be compared with the occurrence of multiple emboli in the vasa nervorum. In recent cases, tumoral markers have evidenced a lymphomatous origin, generally of the B type.
