Abstract:
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis was described by Liebow as a peculiar angiocentric and angiodestructive lymphoreticular proliferative granulomatous disease. Although the lung is most frequently involved, lymphomatoid granulomatosis is also commonly found in the upper respiratory tract, skin, kidneys and central nervous system. Pulmonary infiltrates are histologically polymorphous and show variable degree of cytologic atypic in the lymphoid cells. Infrequent involvement of the bone marrow, spleen and peripheral lymph nodes initially supported the distinction of lymphomatoid granulomatasis from lymphoma. We experienced a rare case of 26-year-old female diagnosed as lymphomatoid granulomatosis by per cutaneous needle aspiration biopsy and transbronchial lung biopsy with symptoms of fever, cough, sputum and right chest pain. After 4th chemotherapy it showed partial remission and chemotherapy is going on.
