Abstract:
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare and aggressive lymphoma with a dismal prognosis. Synchronous intravascular large B-cell lymphoma within meningioma has not previously been documented. We report a case of a 73-year-old woman of Asian descent who presented with fever of unknown origin with generalized weakness. CT scan and MRI of the head revealed a dural-based mass lesion consistent with meningioma in the left frontal cerebral convexity. Surgery was performed to remove the tumor and histopathology showed a meningioma within which was a synchronous intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. The hematology and oncology services were consulted and palliative treatment was initiated due to the patient's poor Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. The patient died within 30 days post-surgery. To the best of our knowledge, this case represents the first report of synchronous intravascular large B-cell lymphoma within a meningioma.

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...
