Abstract:
Intravascular lymphoma (IVL) is a rare extranodal lymphoma, presenting with confusing clinical presentations and most cases have been diagnosed during the postmortem review. We report a case of IVL diagnosed by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination and bone marrow biopsy in a patient with a daily headache from onset. In case of a daily headache from onset with normal neuroimagings, CSF examination may give any significant diagnostic clue and should be a consideration to exclude such causes as hematolymphoid malignancies, including the very rare IVL.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
