Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare subtype of malignant lymphoma. Although the involvement of adrenal glands in IVLBCL is often observed, primary adrenal IVLBCL is rare. Most reported cases of adrenal IVLBCL showed bilateral lesions resulting in rapidly progressive adrenal failure and poor prognosis. Here, we report a case of slowly progressive primary adrenal IVLBCL manifesting initially with unilateral adrenal incidentaloma. This case is a silent IVLBCL and shows that the enlargement of both adrenal glands can be followed.

Article Synopsis
- Intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) is a rare type of cancer where lymphoma cells grow inside blood vessels, leading to organ damage; its effects vary based on ethnicity, with distinct symptoms and prognoses.
- A case study focused on a young Asian male who experienced neurological and respiratory symptoms, including recurrent strokes, where imaging showed significant organ involvement, confirming the diagnosis of IVLBCL through bronchoscopic biopsy.
- The patient successfully underwent chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant, achieving complete remission for three years, highlighting the need for awareness of IVLBCL in atypical cases, particularly with elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a rare type of lymphoma called intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL), particularly the Asian variant, which is associated with severe symptoms and bone marrow involvement, but less commonly affects the central nervous system (CNS).
- It presents a case study of a 67-year-old woman who experienced cognitive decline, fever, and bicytopenia, with imaging suggesting CNS issues despite no malignant cells in her cerebrospinal fluid; evidence of the disease was found in her bone marrow and through imaging and biopsy.
- The conclusion emphasizes that recognizing signs of IVLBCL and an accurate diagnosis are crucial for timely treatment, highlighting the importance of thorough CNS examination during diagnosis.

Atraumatic splenic rupture (ASR) is a rare but fatal complication of malignant lymphoma. However, only one case of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL)-related ASR (IVLBCL-ASR) has previously been reported, and the mechanism of IVLBCL-ASR is unknown. We present the case of a 78-year-old man who died unexpectedly and was diagnosed with IVLBCL-ASR pathologically by autopsy.
