Intravascular lymphomatosis (malignant angioendotheliomatosis) presenting as pulmonary hypertension.
Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare lymphoma characterized by proliferation of malignant cells within the lumen of small blood vessels. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis resulting in pulmonary hypertension, hypoxemia, and dyspnea. This lymphoma occasionally responds to combination chemotherapy, suggesting that pulmonary hypertension secondary to intravascular lymphomatosis may...

Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare extra-nodal form of diffuse, large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that causes a myriad of neurological symptoms, including focal neurological deficits, cognitive decline, and seizure. Intravascular lymphomatosis is difficult to make ante-mortem diagnosis because of its variable clinical presentation and non-specific laboratory findings. Neuroimaging findings...
متن کاملCerebral MR imaging in intravascular lymphomatosis.
MR imaging data were reviewed retrospectively in four male patients (32 to 74 years old) with histologically confirmed intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL), a rare, aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. MR findings included infarct-like lesions (n = 2), focal parenchymal enhancement (n = 3), dural/arachnoid enhancement (n = 2), and, in one case, nonspecific, patchy foci of increased signal in t...
