Abstract
A 46-year-old man developed a fever and cough, and computed tomography showed multiple, nodular infiltrative shadows in lungs. He was diagnosed as having intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI, T2W1) showed an abnormal signal area in the pons, which was IVLBCL involvement. R-CHOP (rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone) therapy and intrathecal (I.T.) injection of methotrexate, cytarabine and prednisolone were selected. Complete remission (CR) was achieved and pontine involvement disappeared. A total of 8 courses of R-CHOP therapy and 4 courses of I.T. were performed. CR has been maintained for 1 year and 2 months.Entities:
