Intravascular Large B-cell Lymphoma of the Bilateral Ovaries and Uterus in an Asymptomatic Patient with a t(11;22)(q23;q11) Constitutional Translocation

Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of extranodal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, which is characterized by the intravascular growth of lymphoma cells, aggressive behavior, and an often fatal course. Patients with IVLBCL are usually symptomatic. Although any organ may be involved, localized lesions in the bilateral ovaries and uterus are extremely rare. We experienced a rare case of IVLBCL involving the bilateral ovaries and uterus in an asymptomatic patient with a t(11;22)(q23;q11) constitutional balanced translocation. Its association with the disease remains unknown. Even in asymptomatic situations, IVLBCL is possible, and the uterus and ovaries can be involved.
