Sips and colleagues describe the onset of intravascular lymphomatosis (IVL) of the brain in a 77-year-old retired research pharmacologist with a history of anemia, pancytopenia, and a recently confirmed diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The authors discuss the mechanisms of IVL and MDS and possible relationships between the conditions, as well as a beneficial effect of treatment of IVL with high-dose combination chemotherapy and rituximab
