A case report of lymphomatoid granulomatosis and review of the literature / 北京大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

To explore the clinical manifestation of lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) and the early diagnosis. Retrospective analyses of the clinical features of LG and pathology features by open lung bio-psies were conducted. The patient was a 42-year-old female with irregular fever,and her chest X-ray and computed tomography showed nodules with cavity and pleural effusion. Open lung biopsy proved LG. LG is seldom seen in clinic. Open lung biopsy is very important for pathology diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are the key to improving survival in these patients. The therapeutic effect is good.
