BACKGROUND Herpes uveitis has been previously reported to present with hyphema, but hemorrhagic hypopyon is rarely reported as a herpetic uveitis manifestation. We report a case of herpes simplex virus (HSV) presenting with hemorrhagic hypopyon, and speculate on the underlying pathophysiology with relation to an intravascular lymphoma which was subsequently diagnosed as a result. CASE PRESENT...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) associated with malignancy, especially adenocarcinoma, is a well-known entity and is included in group V of the WHO classification. Intravascular lymphoma is a rare type of diffuse large B cell lymphoma, characterized by selective intravascular growth of malignant lymphocytes, aggressive behavior, and often a fatal course. Most of the time, diagnosis is postmortem du...

INTRODUCTION The occurrence of an intravascular lymphoma with severe pulmonary involvement mimicking pulmonary embolism is described. CASE PRESENTATION A 38-year-old man was referred to our intensive care unit with acute respiratory failure and long lasting fever. Appropriate investigations failed to demonstrate any bacterial, viral, parasitic or mycobacterial infection. A chest computed tomo...

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which is characterized by the intravascular growth of lymphoma cells, aggressive behavior, and an often fatal course. Patients with IVLBCL are usually symptomatic. Although any organ may be involved, localized lesions in the bilateral ovaries and uterus are extremely rare. We experienced ...

INTRODUCTION Intravascular lymphoma is rare, and may present as ischemic stroke. Diagnosis is difficult due to the non-specific presentation and lack of lymphadenopathy, thus leading to frequent instances of autopsy-proven diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of progressive stroke from intravascular lymphoma diagnosed antemortem by random skin biopsy. CASE PRESENT...

ALCL: anaplastic large cell lymphoma CL: composite lymphoma EBV: Epstein-Barr virus MF: mycosis fungoides INTRODUCTION Patients with mycosis fungoides (MF) are at increased risk of a second malignant neoplasm, especially lymphoma. We report a sexagenarian with a 14-year history of patch MF, stage IB, who had intravascular cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) and cutaneous composite l...

IVLBCL: intravascular large B-cell lymphoma I ntravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a very rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in which tumor cells proliferate within the lumina of small blood vessels, particularly within capillaries, causing clinical symptoms. The clinical presentation of IVLBCL differs among geographic areas. For example, Asians more commonly present with fever, hepato...
