ABSTRACT: Key clinical message
Although intravascular lymphoma rarely presents with peripheral neuropathy, learning about this presentation can lead to timely diagnosis and improved prognosis in patients with intravascular lymphoma.Abstract
A 64-year-old man presented with asymmetric paresthesia and subsequent weakness of his feet and a 10 kg weight loss over 40 days. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed distal axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy with ongoing axonal loss. A peroneal nerve biopsy showed intravascular proliferation of CD-20 positive lymphocytes, which suggested intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
