متن کاملIntravascular lymphomatosis (malignant angioendotheliomatosis) presenting as pulmonary hypertension.
Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare lymphoma characterized by proliferation of malignant cells within the lumen of small blood vessels. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis resulting in pulmonary hypertension, hypoxemia, and dyspnea. This lymphoma occasionally responds to combination chemotherapy, suggesting that pulmonary hypertension secondary to intravascular lymphomatosis may...
متن کاملThe neurological masquerade of intravascular lymphomatosis.
BACKGROUND Intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) is an uncommon systemic disease characterized by occlusion of small vessels by malignant lymphomatous cells. Central nervous system involvement usually presents as subacute encephalopathy, dementia, seizures, or multifocal cerebrovascular events. OBJECTIVE To increase awareness about IVL, an uncommon cause of neurological disease. DESIGN This is ...
