Intravascular lymphoma masquerading as septic shock

Clin Case Rep. 2022 Apr 5;10(4):e05656. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5656. eCollection 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare type of extranodal lymphoma that selectively affects small blood vessels. We report a patient who presented with dyspnea and weight loss as well as refractory shock and multiple-organ dysfunction. The postmortem revealed disseminated involvement of an IVL but no evidence of infection.

Keywords: dyspnea; intravascular lymphoma; multiple‐organ dysfunction; septic shock.
