Abstract

Intravascular NK-cell lymphoma (IVNKL) is an extremely rare variant of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. To our knowledge, there are only a few cases reported in the English literature. Here, a case of a 29-year-old male with IVNKL involving the skin of the trunk and 4 extremities and liver is presented. A comprehensive literature review is undertaken to summarize the clinical and pathological features of this disorder. In our case, large neoplastic lymphoid cells are restricted to the lumen of small vessels and exhibit the phenotype of a true NK cell. The morphology and immunophenotype, positivity of EBER and NK-cell origin are similar to other IVNKL cases. In addition, some cases including ours carry a poor prognosis as multiple systems or vital organs are involved. In summary, we report a case of an unusual intravascular lymphoma of NK-cell lineage that displays both clinical and pathological features and compare it with other differential diagnoses. It is important to recognize this rare entity to make an appropriate diagnosis and achieve a better understanding regarding the treatment and prognosis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 November 2023.
All research outputs
#6,116,768
of 24,900,093 outputs
Outputs from Diagnostic Pathology
#131
of 1,176 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,948
of 268,835 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Diagnostic Pathology
#13
of 82 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,900,093 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,176 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.4. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 268,835 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 82 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its contemporaries.
