The radiology of lymphomatoid granulomatosis in the lung

This paper describes the salient clinical and radiological features of two patients with lymphomatoid granulomatosis of the lungs. We have, in addition, reviewed the previously documented 22 cases in which radiographs were published along with their case histories. The commonest radiographic appearance, that of bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules, should not be mistaken for multiple metastases.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Radiographic findings, including chest CT manifestations, vary and are nonspecific. On chest CT, pulmonary LYG has been described as coarse nodules in a peribronchovascular distribution pattern, patchy densities and pulmonary cavitary lesions, mimicking granulomatosis with polyangiitis or neoplasm.4,18-20 Skin is the most common extrapulmonary site of LYG involvement.2

    High-grade lesions are characterized by increasing numbers of atypical lymphocytes, necrosis, and represent angiocentric lymphomas (Fig. 20).18,55 The most common radiographic finding of LYG is multiple ill-defined pulmonary nodules that range in size from 0.5 to 10 cm and predominate in the lower lung zones.23,28,35,39,74,75 Cavitation may be seen as an associated finding in larger nodules resulting in both thin- and thick-walled cavities.28,74,95
