Intravascular large B‑cell lymphoma diagnosed by skin biopsy from cherry angioma: A case report.

ABSTRACT: Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of large B-cell lymphoma characterized by the exclusive growth of lymphoma cells within blood vessels. Due to the lack of lymphadenopathy and mass formation, the diagnosis of IVLBCL is frequently delayed. Random biopsies of normal-appearing skin are recommended to diagnose patients suspected of having IVLBCL. Although their usefulness is well recognized, the limitations and diagnostic utility of random skin biopsies for IVLBCL involving cherry angiomas have been reported in a limited number of cases. The current study presents the 21st reported case of IVLBCL with a cherry angioma, focusing on the strategies for diagnosing this malignant lymphoma.
