Summary
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBL) is a rare cancer. This case highlights IVLBL
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pathology
- Pulmonology
Background:
- Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBL) is a rare lymphoma subtype.
- IVLBL infiltrates blood vessel lumens, presenting with nonspecific symptoms like fever, skin lesions, and neurological issues.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a case of IVLBL presenting as interstitial lung disease.
- To emphasize the diagnostic importance of IVLBL in unexplained interstitial lung disease.
Main Methods:
- Case report of a patient with respiratory symptoms.
- Autopsy examination to determine the cause of death and disease extent.
Main Results:
- Patient presented with shortness of breath, interstitial lung changes on CT, and splenomegaly.
- Autopsy revealed widespread IVLBL in lungs and multiple organs.
Conclusions:
- IVLBL can mimic interstitial lung disease.
- Autopsy remains crucial for diagnosing rare conditions like IVLBL and understanding disease distribution.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to as TB, is an infectious disease stemming from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While it primarily impacts the lungs, TB can also affect other body areas. Given its severity and global impact, timely and accurate diagnosis is crucial for controlling its spread and improving patient outcomes.
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
