The case is reported of a woman aged 60 yrs who presented with systemic symptoms and who was found to have proteinuria of 3.5 g per day. A renal biopsy revealed numerous neoplastic cells filling many of the glomerular capillary lumina. Immunoperoxidase stains revealed that the phenotype of the malignant cells was LCA +, L26 +, MB2 +, UCHL1-, CD43-, CAM5.2- AND S100-, indicating that they were of lymphoid origin and B-cell lineage. The diagnosis of intravascular large cell lymphoma was therefore made. Remission was induced by chemotherapy with CAVP (cyclophosphamide, adriamycin, vincristine and prednisone). A subsequent relapse was treated with cyclophosphamide, VP 16 and prednisone, and again remission occurred. This is the first case known to the authors in which the diagnosis of intravascular large cell lymphoma was made on renal biopsy. We confirm the experience of others that chemotherapy with regimens utilized in other varieties of large cell lymphoma may also be appropriate for this unusual neoplasm.
