摘要: A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of abnormal behavior and generalized convulsion. Brain MRI revealed no abnormalities upon admission. Levels serum lactate dehydrogenase soluble interleukin-2 receptors were significantly elevated, whereas the initial bone marrow puncture random skin biopsy findings non-malignant. On tenth day admission, brain dot strip-shaped low signal intensity lesions on susceptibility-weighted images (SWI) disseminated mainly within cerebral cortex. Administration high dose methyl-prednisolone improved neither his condition nor these findings. Ground-glass opacities bilateral lungs later emerged chest CT. The results a transbronchial lung second consistent with diagnosis intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). Despite lack histopathological confirmation, intensities SWI in this case also considered IVLBCL lesions, reflective micro-hemorrhagic changes.
