Abstract:

Intravascular large B cell lymphoma (IVBCL) is a rare type of extranodal large B cell lymphoma characterized by selective growth of lymphoma cells within the microvasculature. We present an illustrative case of intravascular B cell lymphoma suspected by the presence of a very few atypical cells on peripheral smear. The diagnosis was confirmed by bone marrow biopsy, immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.
