Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma presenting with diffusely increased pulmonary fluorodeoxyglucose uptake without corresponding CT abnormality

A 60-year-old male presented with complaints of dyspnea, intermittent fever, and 40 pounds of weight loss over the previous 9 months and was admitted for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Labs demonstrated elevated inflammatory markers, mild anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positr...

Sumario:A 60-year-old male presented with complaints of dyspnea, intermittent fever, and 40 pounds of weight loss over the previous 9 months and was admitted for acute hypoxemic respiratory failure. Labs demonstrated elevated inflammatory markers, mild anemia, and thrombocytopenia. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography scan demonstrated diffusely increased pulmonary fluorodeoxyglucose uptake without corresponding abnormality on CT images. Excisional lung biopsy demonstrated intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IV-LBCL). Presentation, imaging findings, and diagnosis of IV-LBCL will be discussed, as well as differential considerations for pulmonary involvement by IV-LBCL.
