Primary invasive aspergillosis with disseminated intravascular coagulation as a presenting feature of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma complicated by invasive pulmonary aspergillosis: a rare presentation

We describe a patient with persisting fevers, a progressive pulmonary infiltrate, and high levels of serum lactate dehydrogenase. No underlying cause for these changes was found prior to her death despite extensive investigations. Postmortem tissue revealed invasive pulmonary aspergillosis and subsequent brain examination revealed vascular changes in keeping with intravascular large B-cell lymp...

Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis: a rare presentation of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

We describe a patient with rapidly progressive pneumonia and a high level of serum lactate dehydrogenase, in whom postmortem study revealed the presence of a diffuse, small and large-cell multicentric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, together with an invasive pulmonary aspergillosis. Aspergillosis is rare as a presenting feature of a lymphoproliferative disease; only one previous case has been reported ...
