Intravascular Large B Cell Lymphoma - Still a Diagnostic Dilemma

J Community Hosp Intern Med Perspect. 2022 Jan 31;12(1):43-47. doi: 10.55729/2000-9666.1008. eCollection 2022.

Abstract

Intravascular large B cell lymphoma (IVLBCL), a rare subtype of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), presents with non-specific symptoms and is an extremely difficult diagnosis to make despite extensive workup. It very rarely presents with endocrinologic abnormalities. We present a case of an 81-year-old woman whose predominant presenting manifestation was endocrinopathy, who passed away from multiorgan failure, and was diagnosed to have IVLBCL on post mortem autopsy.
