A case of intravascular lymphomatosis with predominant symptoms in the lung (cough and interstitial pulmonary infiltrates) is presented. Fever and confusion were lateness symptoms. Examination postmortem established the diagnosis. In the lung alveolar walls, small arterioles and the capillaries were occupied by atypical cells positives for CD45 and CD20, leukocyte and pan-B markers, and negatives for CD45-Ro and CD34, pan-T and endothelial markers. The main characteristics and the lung participation of this entity were reviewed.
