A 67-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment of hemophagocytic syndrome. Hypotension, hypoxemia, pleural effusion, severe anasarca, and splenomegaly were noticed at the time of admission. Laboratory findings showed anemia (7.7 g/dl), thrombocytopenia (4.5 x 10(4)/microliter), an increase of serum LDH (1,466 IU/L) and severe hypoalbuminemia (1.9 g/dl). Bone marrow aspiration revealed an increase of reticulum cells with active hemophagocytosis and the presence of immature lymphocytes (6.0%). Lymphoma was suspected, but effective chemotherapy could not be performed because of progressive hypoxemia and severe hypoalbuminemia, and the patient died of the disease 2 weeks after admission. Autopsy revealed large lymphoid cells packed within systemic vessels as well as invasion into organs such as the liver, lungs, and spleen. The postmortem diagnosis was intravascular large B-cell lymphoma. Hypoalbuminemia and hypoxemia appear to be important clinical features of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.
