Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis: A Case Report and Literature Review of a Rare Pediatric Disorder From Pakistan.

BACKGROUND Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is a rare pediatric disorder driven by the Epstein-Barr virus and is considered as a part of the lymphoma spectrum. It is mostly associated with immune deficiency and patients on immunosuppressive therapy, especially with acute leukemia. It can present as a multisystemic disease, diagnosed on biopsy as atypical lymphocytes with an angiocentric pattern against a background composed of histiocytes, neutrophils, and extensive T-cell infiltration. OBSERVATION We report 3 cases of children with Lymphomatoid granulomatosis, one with Langerhans cell histiocytosis. CONCLUSION Combination chemotherapy was used for the treatment of Lymphomatoid granulomatosis; however, the prognosis is guarded. One of 3 patients is alive and in remission on the last follow-up visit at 15 months.
