Preferred Label : Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis;
NCIt synonyms : LYG;
NCIt definition : An angiocentric and angiodestructive lymphoproliferative disease involving extranodal
sites, comprised of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive B-cells admixed with reactive
T-cells. Incidence is higher among adult males; patients with a history of immunodeficiency
are at increased risk. The most common site of involvement is the lung; other common
sites include brain, kidney, liver, and skin. Morphologically, three grades are recognized:
grade I, II, and III. Grade III lymphomatoid granulomatosis should be approached clinically
as a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.;
Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: Destructive growth of lymph cells, usually involving the lungs, skin, kidneys,
and central nervous system. Grades I and II are not considered cancerous, but grade
III is considered a lymphoma.;
