Abstract
- Intravascular lymphomatosis(IVL) which was first described by pfleger and Tappeiner in 1959 is rare malignancy characterized by neoplastic proliferation of lymphoid cell lineage within the vascular lumen with little or no adjacent parenchymal involvement. Its usual sites of involvement are central nervous system and skin or infrequently heart, lungs, pancreas, liver, spleen, kidney, adrenal glands, genitourinary tract, and bone marrow. Pulmonary involvement of IVL is not common. Symptoms of pulmonary involvement include dyspnea, cough and fever. Radiologicially, the disease is manifested with diffuse interstitial infiltrates. We report a recently experienced case of pulmonary intravascular lymphomatosis which was manifested with fever and chest pain.
