Intravascular lymphoma is a very rare form of large B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma which is characterized by selective growth of lymphoma cells within the lumina of small blood vessels. We report a 64-year-old woman visited hospital because of persistent cough, intermittent high fever as high as 38.7 °C and occasional shortness of breath. Her chest CT showed left upper lobe pneumonia and tubercu...

UNLABELLED A 78-year-old Japanese male noticed a difficulty in the beginning of standing up, followed by 7a progressive numbness of extremities with pain, Bell's palsy, dysarthria, and difficulty in swallowing. A clinician had suspected cancer of unknown primary origin, accompanied by the diverse and elusive neurological symptoms, likely presenting as painful mononeuropathy simplex and cranial ...

A 69-year-old woman visited our hospital with a 2-month history of general fatigue, high fever, and dyspnea. Physical examination showed no abnormalities in superficial lymph nodes or respiratory sound. A chest computed tomography scan showed diffuse mild ground-glass attenuation in bilateral lung fields, whereas FDG-PET revealed intense uptake of FDG throughout the lung.

We present a patient with subacute progressive paraparesis secondary to intravascular lymphoma restricted to the spinal cord where initial laboratory and imaging studies were inconclusive. We emphasise the importance of a systematic approach to the diagnosis and highlight the utility of spinal cord biopsy to establish the definitive diagnosis of this rare but treatable illness.
