Abstract

Intravascular lymphomatosis is an uncommon type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by intravascular proliferation of neoplastic lymphoid cells. Although the tumour is basically a systemic disease, eventually involving multiple organs, primary presentation in the lung is rare. We describe the clinicopathological features of two patients with intravascular lymphomatosis presenting in the lung. One patient complained of fever, headache and chest pain; the other, of dyspnoea on exertion and headache. Both patients showed reticulonodular density on chest radiography and decreased diffusion capacity. Lung biopsy showed features characteristic of intravascular lymphomatosis. Malignant lymphoid cells were CD30 positive T-cells of anaplastic large cell type in one patient and B-cells of large cell type in the other. There was a poor response to chemotherapy and both patients died of the disease within 3 months of diagnosis. These cases and 10 previous reports illustrate the need to include intravascular lymphomatosis in the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
