Case Studies

Intravascular lymphomatosis is a rare lymphoma presenting a variety of symptoms due to proliferation of tumour cells within blood vessels in the brain, the skin and other organs. This disease is generally considered to be highly malignant, but to be relatively susceptible to combined chemotherapy, when diagnosed in the early stage. We describe a case of intravascular lymphomatosis, presenting with diffuse interstitial shadows on chest radiographic image, which could be diagnosed by transbronchial lung biopsy. The patient showed a good response to combined chemotherapy. We propose that transbronchial lung biopsy is a useful procedure for the diagnosis of intravascular lymphomatosis.
