Lymphomatoid granulomatosis arises from T cells infused with EBV, which are lymphoid cells that are normally involved in Immunity.As a result patients typically resent with pulmonary symptoms (cough, dyspnea, chest tightness).Patients with lymphomatoid granulomatosis tend to have low CD4 counts usually due to infection (EBV, hep c, and hiv) and/or immunospression( immunosuppressive drugs, and Inherited immunodeficiency diseases).On microscopic pathology inflammation of micro vessels are seen or angitis is seen and t cells containing EBV.On gross pathology nodules are seen mostly in the lung.
