title: Isolated Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma Presenting with Diffuse Ground Glass Pulmonary Infiltrates.
abstract: A case of 44-year-old man with dyspnea and CT chest demonstrated bilateral infiltration. Patient was failed to improve with antibiotics and steroid. Finally, video-assisted thoracic surgery-guided lung biopsy was performed and surprisingly revealed intravascular large B cell lymphoma. The patient was subsequently started on chemotherapy with considerable clinical improvement. At the time of last follow-up (4 years from diagnosis); there was no clinical or radiologic evidence of tumor recurrence.
