Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis of the Lung, Liver and Spleen

Abstract

A female patient with lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) involving lung, liver and spleen is described. Our case presented with signs and laboratory data indicating severe hepatic failure. It is not clear if this disorder represents a distinct pathological or clinical entity. In this report the differences between LYG and the two disease groups which it most resembles, Wegener's granulomatosis and malignant lymphoma are discussed.
