Pulmonary Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma (IVLBCL) Disguised as an Asthma Exacerbation in a Patient with Asthma.

ABSTRACT: A 62-year-old man with asthma presented with a 1-month history of wheezing and exertional dyspnea. Although the wheezing symptoms disappeared after systemic corticosteroid therapy, the exertional dyspnea and hypoxemia did not improve. A diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) with pulmonary involvement was suspected because of the increased serum lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and soluble interleukin-2 receptor (sIL-2R) level, increased alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (AaDO2), decreased pulmonary diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) and scintigraphic, computed tomography (CT) and 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)-CT findings. The patient was diagnosed as having IVLBCL with pulmonary involvement based on a pathological analysis of a random skin biopsy and a transbronchial lung biopsy. IVLBCL should be considered in patients with symptoms of asthma that are refractory to corticosteroid treatment.

Neurologic manifestations of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.

Project description:Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare subtype of large B-cell lymphoma that affects various organs including the nervous system. The diagnosis is challenging and frequently made at autopsy.We report 5 cases with an array of neurologic manifestations. All patients were initially evaluated for alternative diagnoses. Three patients were diagnosed at autopsy, one with brain biopsy, and another with muscle biopsy. Muscle was involved in all 3 patients who had muscle tissue available for analysis.Our observations suggest that random open muscle biopsy may present a high-yield, less invasive option for the diagnosis of this disorder.

Characteristics of Renal Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma.

Project description:IntroductionRenal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell lymphoma with neoplastic cells occupying the vascular lumina with only 53 patients reported to date. Here, we present the largest case series to characterize this rare disease.MethodsWe performed a multi-institutional, retrospective review of kidney biopsies and autopsies with a diagnosis of kidney IVLBCL and report our findings.ResultsWe identified 20 patients with an average age of 65.7 ± 7.8 years (55% males) with IVLBCL on kidney biopsy. The most common clinical presentation was fever and anemia. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was noted in 70% to 90%, proteinuria in 70% to 84.1%, hematuria in 45%, and nephrotic-range proteinuria in 10% to 26.1% of cases. The median (interquartile range) of serum creatinine was 1.75 (1.14, 3.3) mg/dl. Neoplastic lymphoid cells were present in glomeruli, peritubular capillaries, and arteries or veins. Of the patients, 44.3% showed extrarenal infiltration into bone marrow, liver, spleen, central vervous system, lung and skin. Neoplastic cells express CD20, CD79a, PAX-5, and MUM1+, and were CD10-negative. Available follow-up data showed a median survival of 21 months after diagnosis. Extrarenal involvement is a significant and independent predictor of mortality with a hazard ratio of 4.975 (95% confidence interval:1.38, 17.88) after controlling for age and gender. Serum creatinine, age, sex, and infiltration of intrarenal arteries or veins did not affect survival.ConclusionKidney IVLBCL is a rare disease that is unexpectedly diagnosed by kidney biopsy, presenting with fever, anemia, mild AKI, and proteinuria. Median survival is 21 months and extrarenal involvement is associated with worse outcome.

Molecular classification of tumour cells in a patient with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma

Project description:Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare type of extranodal LBCL. It is characterized by the proliferation of tumour cells exclusively intraluminally in small blood vessels of different organs. We used microarray-based analysis of gene expression of tumour cells isolated from a patient with primary manifestation of the lymphoma in the skin and compared it with various other diffuse LBCLs (DLBCLs) as well as a previously published DLBCL classifier.

Characteristics of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma on cerebral MR imaging.

Project description:IVL is characterized by a propensity for intravascular tumor cell proliferation. Premortem diagnosis of IVL is difficult because of its nonspecific clinical, laboratory, and imaging manifestations. This study examined cerebral MR imaging patterns of IVL and their changes with and without chemotherapy. Nine of 11 patients studied presented with abnormal findings. We define 5 patterns of abnormal MR imaging findings: 1) infarctlike lesions, 2) nonspecific white matter lesions, 3) meningeal enhancement, 4) masslike lesions, and 5) hyperintense lesions in the pons on T2WI. Seven patients presented with only 1 pattern, while 2 patients presented with multiple patterns. Lesions in 7 treated patients responded to chemotherapy. Pathologic specimens revealed intravascular tumor cell infiltration with associated infarctions, necrosis, congestion, demyelination, vasculitis, and tumor cell extravasation. We conclude that MR imaging patterns can be possible manifestations of intravascular-dominant infiltration by tumor cells with associated occlusion or inflammation, depending on the level of affected vessels.

Intravascular B-cell lymphoma: case report of a rare cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Project description:BackgroundIntravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare disease characterized by proliferation of malignant lymphoid cells within the small vessels of various organs resulting in diffuse thrombosis. It most commonly affects the central nervous system and the skin, but if it involves the pulmonary arteries it can cause acute severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) and right heart failure. Early diagnosis is essential as the clinical course is extremely aggressive. In this report, we present a case of rapidly progressive PH and subsequent right ventricular (RV) failure secondary to IVLBCL. We review the important differential diagnoses and diagnostic evaluation needed to make a correct and early diagnosis.Case summaryA 53-year-old, previously healthy man developed 2 months of progressive shortness of breath. After being treated for presumptive pneumonia, he was admitted with hypoxic respiratory failure, altered mental status, and severe PH. He developed RV failure and subsequent liver failure. He was ruled out for pulmonary embolism. Despite aggressive management with inhaled nitric oxide and epoprostenol, inotropes, and continuous renal replacement therapy, the patient passed away. Post-mortem examination revealed the presence of IVLBCL with extensive involvement notable of the brain, heart, lungs, and pulmonary arteries.DiscussionThe acute development of severe PH and RV failure in the absence of pulmonary emboli is uncommon and represents a challenging diagnostic and management clinical scenario. When accompanied by altered mental status, constitutional symptoms and an elevated lactate dehydrogenase, clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for intravascular lymphoma, as early diagnosis is critical to maintain a reasonable chance of survival.
