Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma is a rare and aggressive EBV-negative large B-cell lymphoma with a dismal outcome. Here, we describe the case of a 76-year-old HIV-positive patient with an acute presentation of systemic symptoms and rapidly fatal outcome. Autopsy revealed a disseminated large B-cell lymphoma with an intravascular distribution involving the liver, lymph nodes, spleen, and bone marrow and associated to fibrin thrombi in hepatic capillary haemangiomas. The neoplastic B cells (CD79a + / - , CD20 + / - , CD30 + , MUM1 + , PD-L1 +) showed a Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg-like morphology and were EBV-positive with a latency type II (LMP1 + , EBNA2-). Haemophagocytosis was documented in the bone marrow and lymph nodes. This case illustrates the diagnostic challenges of large B-cell lymphoma with intravascular presentation. We found only five other cases of EBV-positive large B-cell lymphoma with an intravascular presentation in the literature, three of which had an underlying immunodeficiency adding to the broad spectrum of EBV-associated lymphoma in the setting of immunosuppression.
