Intravascular lymphoma (IL) is a rare cancer. This case highlights its challenging diagnosis, mimicking vasculitis, and the importance of considering it in systemic illness presentations.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Intravascular lymphoma (IL) is a rare lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by malignant lymphocytes confined to the lumina of blood vessels.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its nonspecific clinical presentation and lack of peripheral blood involvement.

Observation:

  • The patient presented with systemic symptoms including fever, muscular weakness, telangiectasias, nephrotic syndrome, and neurological manifestations, initially suggesting vasculitis.
  • Despite initial improvement with cyclophosphamide treatment, the patient ultimately succumbed to respiratory failure due to pulmonary involvement.

Findings:

  • The diagnosis of intravascular lymphoma was confirmed only upon postmortem examination.
  • The case underscores the difficulty in diagnosing IL antemortem, especially when it mimics other systemic inflammatory conditions like vasculitis.

Implications:

  • This case emphasizes the need for a high index of suspicion for intravascular lymphoma in patients with unexplained systemic symptoms and signs suggestive of vasculitis.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis is crucial for effective management and potentially improving outcomes in intravascular lymphoma.
  • The differential diagnosis of IL should be considered in complex systemic presentations to avoid diagnostic delays.
