Abstract
This is an extremely rare reported case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL)
presenting with acute hemorrhages and numerous microbleeds. An 80-year-old man presented
with consciousness disturbances after convulsion. Computed tomography revealed multiple
hemorrhages, and susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) demonstrated numerous microbleeds.
Brain biopsy showed CD20-positive cells in small vessels; accordingly, IVLBCL was
diagnosed. IVLBCL should be considered as a differential diagnosis in multiple cerebral
hemorrhages and microbleeds.
