Effective management of a rare case of primary renal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma with modified R-CHOP regimen: A case report

Abstract

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, known for its diverse organ involvement, presents significant diagnostic challenges, particularly when it affects the kidneys. This report highlights a rare case of primary renal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma in a 60-year-old male patient, who presented with persistent fever and renal dysfunction. The case underscores the intricacy of diagnosis and the efficacy of personalized treatment. Following the identification of primary renal intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, a modified R-CHOP regimen was administered, resulting in notable amelioration of symptoms and renal function following the initial treatment cycle. The patient achieved sustained complete remission without any complications after completing five subsequent R-CHOP cycles and two additional cycles of rituximab monotherapy, as confirmed by recent assessments. He is currently under regular follow-up for ongoing monitoring and improvement. This case adds to the limited yet expanding pool of knowledge concerning intravascular large B-cell lymphoma, emphasizing the necessity for personalized therapeutic strategies in atypical presentations. It also highlights the importance of early detection and customized intervention in managing rare lymphoma subtypes with unique organ involvement.
