A clinicopathological study of 13 cases of intravascular lymphoma: experience in a single institution over a 9‐yr period
TLDR
Patients with IVL exhibit the characteristic clinical and immunophenotypic features cited above and the use of random skin biopsy facilitates prompt diagnosis, and early commencement of chemotherapy containing rituximab appears promising for this peculiar lymphoma.
Intravascular lymphoma: clinical presentation, natural history, management and prognostic factors in a series of 38 cases, with special emphasis on the ‘cutaneous variant’ 1
TLDR
Overall survival was usually poor; however, the early use of intensive therapies could improve outcome in young patients with unfavourable features, and ECOG‐PS >1, ‘cutaneous variant’, stage I and chemotherapy use were independently associated with improved survival.

Retrospective study of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma cases diagnosed in Quebec
TLDR
The study showed that the French Canadian presentation of this subtype of IVL is more frequently observed with neurological rather than cutaneous involvement, and an early diagnosis is of primary importance since almost a quarter of patients receive a post-mortem diagnosis.
Usefulness of Random Skin Biopsy as a Diagnostic Tool of Intravascular Lymphoma Presenting With Fever of Unknown Origin
TLDR
In an elderly patient with fever of unknown origin and/or weight loss with no evident of skin lesion, markedly elevated lactate dehydrogenase, remarkable deterioration in ECOG performance status who suspected IVBCL should be consider to perform incisional random skin biopsy at least 3 specimens from both thighs and abdomen to achieve a high sensitivity.
Definition, diagnosis, and management of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma: proposals and perspectives from an international consensus meeting.
TLDR
It emerged that IVLBCL may have additional Histopathologic/cytologic definition criteria with respect to those currently recommended, some clinical features are not randomly distributed worldwide, recent therapeutic approaches, such as anti-CD20-containing regimens, may improve outcome, and kidney, spleen, and liver involvement may show peculiar histopathologic features.
