intravascular large B-cell lymphoma

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) is a rare and aggressive subtype of diffuse LBCL characterized by disseminated intravascular proliferation of neoplastic lymphocytes.

Obstruction of blood flow by tumor cells in a variety of organs can cause an array of clinical changes, including alteration of the neural and spinal system and the respiratory system, as well as skin lesions.
