Abstract: 【Abstract】 Objective To investigate clinicopathological features of 4 cases of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma （IVLBCL）. Methods Clinical and pathological data were collected from 4 patients with histopathologically confirmed IVLBCL in Department of Dermatology, Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2020 to November 2020, and retrospectively analyzed. Results The 4 patients were aged 57 - 76 years, including 2 males and 2 females. Of the 4 patients, all had neurological symptoms, 3 had fever, 3 exhibited impaired exercise tolerance and suffocation, and 3 exhibited pitting edema of the body. Case 1 presented with a cherry hemangioma-like papule measuring 0.2 cm in diameter on the back, and case 2 with telangiectasia on the left breast and upper abdomen. Six skin samples were taken from the 4 patients for histopathological and immunohistochemical studies, and tumor cells were found in 1 cherry hemangioma-like lesion and 1 lesion of telangiectasia, as well as in 2 of 4 normal skin samples. Histopathological findings mainly were dilated dermal blood vessels filled with large atypical mononuclear cells, and the atypical mononuclear cells were positive for CD20 immunohistochemically. Conclusion For those patients with suspected IVLBCL, hemangioma-like and telangiectasia lesions tend to show characteristic histopathological and immunohistochemical findings, and a biopsy of normal skin can facilitate early diagnosis of IVLBCL.
