- Abstract
This article discusses a case of a 76-year-old woman who presented with symptoms of fever, disorientation, and hemodynamic instability. The patient was diagnosed with intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) presenting with hemophagocytic syndrome. IVLBCL is a rare lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the proliferation of large cells in the blood vessels. The prognosis for this variant of IVLBCL is typically poor due to its aggressive onset and rapid progression. Treatment approaches, such as R-CHOP-like regimens, are still debated, and the patient's clinical status limits the ideal treatment. This case highlights an exception to the traditional epidemiology of IVLBCL and the poor prognosis associated with multiorgan failure.
