title: Use of irradiation in lymphomatoid granulomatosis.
abstract: A middle-aged white man with lymphomatoid granulomatosis was studied over the ten-year course of his disease. Both a large subcutaneous mass in his thigh and life-threatening massive involvement of the right lung occurred on separate occasions, and each responded to therapy with irradiation after immunosuppression failed. Irradiation should be considered as one of the primary forms of treatment of lymphomatoid granulomatosis in those with localized lesions.
