Mononeuropathy multiplex as an uncommon presentation of intravascular lymphoma: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2023 Jun 19;11(6):e7575. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.7575. eCollection 2023 Jun.

Abstract

Key clinical message: Although intravascular lymphoma rarely presents with peripheral neuropathy, learning about this presentation can lead to timely diagnosis and improved prognosis in patients with intravascular lymphoma.

Abstract: A 64-year-old man presented with asymmetric paresthesia and subsequent weakness of his feet and a 10 kg weight loss over 40 days. Electrodiagnostic studies revealed distal axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy with ongoing axonal loss. A peroneal nerve biopsy showed intravascular proliferation of CD-20 positive lymphocytes, which suggested intravascular large B-cell lymphoma.

Keywords: case report; diagnosis; intravascular large B‐cell lymphoma; mononeuritis multiplex; neuropathy.
