A case of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma with progressive peripheral neuropathy was presented. The biopsy of the sural nerve disclosed the infiltration of lymphoma cells into the nerve bundles, vessels and their surrounding tissues. The results indicated the rare infiltration pattern of lymphoma cells along the peripheral nerve system as well as plugging of vessels as a cause of peripheral neuropathy, although the molecular pathogenesis is unknown.
