ABSTRACT
A man in his 60s presented with intermittent constitutional symptoms along with waxing and waning chest radiographic abnormalities, eventually leading to a diagnosis of lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG). LYG is a rare, progressive Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-driven lymphoproliferative disease associated with immune dysregulation most commonly involving the lungs. The diagnosis requires tissue biopsy; thus, the decision to pursue tissue sampling with histopathology examination in a timely manner is essential. Currently, there are no established guidelines regarding the treatment of LYG, which varies from cessation of immunosuppressants to immunochemotherapy and usually requires multidisciplinary team discussion.
