Abstract

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare variant of non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by clonal proliferation of neoplastic lymphoid cells that grow within lumen of the microvasculature. The diversity of the clinical presentation due to the possibility of its appearance in any organ often makes it a difficult diagnosis. Clinical spectrum is heterogeneous, dominated by neurological manifestations can be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Diagnosis remains a challenge, since there are no pathognomonic neuroimaging findings and optimal treatment has not yet been established. We present a 38-year-old female patient with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma with cerebral involvement.
