Case Reports[A case report of lymphomatoid granulomatosis and review of the literature].
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 biopsies 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 is very important for pathology diagnosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are the key to improving survival in these patients. The therapeutic effect is good.

To present clinical and pathologic features of pulmonary hyalnizing granuloma through analyzing three cases found in our institution and reviewing cases reported in the English language literature. ⋯ Since patients with pulmonary hyalinizing granuloma demonstrated a spectrum of clinical presentations, radiologic changes and histologic features with a variety of associated clinical disorders, pulmonary hyalnizing granuloma is more in keeping with a clinicopathologic entity rather than a specific pathologic disease.
