Reactive Intralymphovascular Immunoblastic Proliferations Mimicking Aggressive Lymphomas

In conclusion, ILVIPs can be rarely observed in patients with inflammatory or infectious conditions, especially in gastrointestinal tract surgical specimens. The immunoblasts are predominantly of B-lineage with a postgerminal center immunophenotype and are located within lymphatic channels. It is essential to distinguish reactive ILVIPs from aggressive lymphomas to avoid unnecessary therapy.
