Multiorgan failure caused by intravascular lymphoma: a highly rare and malignant hemopathy mimicking multisystemic disease.
This manuscript describing a case of intravascular lymphoma, displays the difficulties underlying its diagnosis. We emphasize that intravascular lymphoma should be considered in patients with multisystemic manifestations without obvious etiology. Despite the heterogeneous presentation of this lymphoma, some clinical and biological investigations should prevail clinicians to do tissue biopsy which is required to make the diagnosis.
