Abstract:
Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma(IVLBCL) is a rare form of diffuse LBCL characterized by preferential intravascular growth of malignant lymphocytes,aggressive behavior,and an often fatal course.It displays some differences in clinical presentation among diverse geographical areas.The immunophenotype plays a critical role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Recent therapeutic approaches,such as the rituximab plus CHOP regimen,could have a positive impact in IVLBCL patients.The use of high-dose chemotherapy supported by autologous stem-cell transplantation may improve current outcomes.
