In general, the prognosis of Intravascular Large B-Cell Lymphoma of Lung is often poor General information on lymphoma and lymphocytes: Lymphoma is a type of cancer stemming from uncontrollably dividing lymphocytes (type of white blood cells). [dovemed.com]

Organ involvement without cutaneous manifestations can occur and portends a poor prognosis. Approximately 60 cases of intravascular lymphomatosis have been reported in the literature. [go.gale.com]

Reactive angioendotheliomatosis has a good prognosis and usually regresses when the underlying disease, if discovered, is successfully treated. The disease sometimes regresses spontaneously. The prognosis depends on the underlying cause. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The more common malignant form with a fatal prognosis should be termed intravascular or angiotropic lymphoma and is a multifocal systemic disease, which affects especially the small and middle-sized blood vessels of the skin and central nervous system [unboundmedicine.com]

Etiology Etiology is still elusive but it is thought to be multifactorial, involving a genetic predisposition. [orpha.net]

PATHO-PHYSIOLOGY The pathophysiology of malignant ascites is multifactorial. It is postulated that ascites formation is related to a combination of altered vascular permeability and obstructed lymphatic drainage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although there appears to be a possible association between intravascular lymphoma and nodal NHL, the pathophysiologic relationships are poorly understood. [hematologyandoncology.net]

Hydroxychloroquine was used in the past to prevent and treat malaria. It is also used to treat lupus-related arthritis, fatigue, rashes, and mouth sores, as well as prevent flares. [rheumatology.org]
