Intravascular B-cell lymphoma is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is characterized by a clonal proliferation of lymphoblasts within small blood vessels. Patients present with nonspecific symptoms and are often only given a diagnosis at autopsy. We report a case of intravascular B-cell lymphoma, characterized by pyrexia, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and mental status decline, without obvious cutaneous manifestations, that was diagnosed with blind skin biopsy.
血管内B细胞淋巴瘤是一种罕见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤,其特征是小血管内淋巴母细胞的克隆性增殖。患者表现为非特异性症状,通常仅在尸检时才得以诊断。我们报告一例血管内B细胞淋巴瘤病例,其特征为发热、贫血、血小板减少和精神状态下降,无明显皮肤表现,通过盲法皮肤活检得以确诊。
