    Abstract:
    A 45-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with high-grade fever uncontrolled by antipyretic drugs, and elevation of the serum LDH and sIL-2R levels, and decrease of diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed no abnormal findings but 67Ga scintigraphy revealed diffuse pulmonary uptake. He was given a diagnosis of intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) based on transbronchial lung biopsy (TBLB) and immunohistochemical analysis. The prognosis of IVL is generally bad, because antemortem diagnosis is difficult. In this case early TBLB enabled satisfactory curative effect of IVL.
