Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare type of
extranodal B-cell lymphoma characterized by the growth of
lymphoma cells within the lumina of small vessels. Two major
patterns of clinical presentation have been recognized: the first
is in European countries, with brain and skin involvement, and
the second in Asian countries, where patients typically present
with multiorgan failure, hepatosplenomegaly, pancytopenia,
and hemophagocytic syndrome [1,2,3,4,5]. Primary IVLBCL of
the gallbladder is exceedingly rare.
