Atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation following trauma in a healthy 17-year-old male: first reported case of a potential diagnostic pitfall and literature review.

Herein, we present the first report of a reactive atypical intravascular CD30+ T-cell proliferation. Our patient developed the condition after trauma, and he has followed a benign clinical course. This observation represents a potential diagnostic pitfall for intravascular lymphoma and adds to the list of reactive conditions that may be associated with an atypical CD30+ T-cell infiltrate.
