Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of systemic extranodal non-Hodgkin diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). We report a rare case of IVLBCL who showed diffuse 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in the lung in FDG-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) without respiratory symptoms or chest CT abnormalities.

متن کاملA case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma of lung presenting with progressive multiple nodules on chest computed tomography
A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for dyspnea, which had worsened over a period of more than six months. He was previously diagnosed as having cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, and was treated with steroids in another hospital. He had complained of worsening dyspnea, despite the treatment.

متن کاملIntravascular lymphomatosis diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy.
Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare lymphoma presenting a variety of symptoms due to proliferation of tumour cells within blood vessels in the brain, the skin and other organs. This disease is generally considered to be highly malignant, but to be relatively susceptible to combined chemotherapy, when diagnosed in the early stage. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis, presenting w...
