Primary hepatic lymphoma presenting as intravascular lymphomatosis. 1990

H Kayano, and I Katayama
Department of Pathology, Saitama Medical School, Japan.

A case of primary hepatic lymphoma presenting as intravascular lymphomatosis was diagnosed in a 69-year-old woman who presented with symptoms related to the digestive tract. These symptoms were followed by neurologic disorders, including disturbance of sensation and mentality, and pathologic reflexes suggestive of a broad intracerebral lesion. Computed tomography of the brain showed an ill-defined, low-density area in the bilateral parietotemporal lobes. Autopsy revealed a well-circumscribed hepatic tumor, 6 cm in diameter, and scattered hemorrhagic foci in the cerebral cortexes. Microscopically, the hepatic tumor was a diffuse lymphoma, large cell, of the B-cell type. The small vessels of the brain were found to be packed with lymphoma cells, having caused the florid neurologic manifestations.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.

D006390 Hemangioendothelioma A neoplasm derived from blood vessels, characterized by numerous prominent endothelial cells that occur singly, in aggregates, and as the lining of congeries of vascular tubes or channels. Hemangioendotheliomas are relatively rare and are of intermediate malignancy (between benign hemangiomas and conventional angiosarcomas). They affect men and women about equally and rarely develop in childhood.
