Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (pulmonary manifestations)
Updates to Article Attributes
Body
was changed:
Pulmonary manifestations of lymphomatoid granulomatosis are important since the lung is one of the most frequent sites of involvement in lymphomatoid granulomatosis. It falls under the group of pulmonary angiitis and granulomatosis.
Pathology
Some consider the condition to be midway between overt pulmonary lymphoma and Wegener's granulomatosis with polyangiitis. 4.
Radiographic features
Plain radiograph
- multiple lung nodules/masses: typically small but can be variable in size (1-8 cm) 1
- areas of consolidative change
HRCT
Recognised CT features include 3:
- conglomerating small lung nodules: usually in peribronchovascular distribution
- coarse irregular opacities
- small thin-walled cysts
- mediastinal nodal enlargement 5
Differential diagnosis
On a chest radiograph, possible considerations include:
- granulomatosis with polyangiitis
- rheumatoid lung
- lung metastases
- tuberculosis
