  • Title: Intravascular large cell lymphoma associated with hypoalbuminemia.
    Author: Suzumiya J, Ohshima K, Kanda M, Kato A, Shuuda K, Kimura N, Tamura K, Kikuchi M.
    Journal: Leuk Lymphoma; 1998 Dec; 32(1-2):179-82. PubMed ID: 10037014.
    Abstract:
    We report here a 71-yr-old Japanese woman who presented with severe anasarca and hypoalbuminemia. She had a postmortem diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, which is a rare type of lymphoma characterized by an intravascular proliferation of lymphoma cells. Severe generalized edema was thought to be attributed to vascular and/or lymphatic obstruction due to proliferation of lymphoma cells within the lumina and/or an increase in catabolism induced by tumor proliferation.
