title: Lymphomatoid granulomatosis in a renal transplant recipient.
abstract: Lymphomatoid granulomatosis, as defined by Liebow et al. in 1972, is an angiocentric, angiodestructive, lymphoreticular proliferative disorder of uncertain relationship, if any, to malignant lymphoma. This report describes the rapid development and progression of lymphomatoid granulomatosis in a 33 year old recipient of an immunosuppressed renal transplant. The report further discusses the differences between lymphomatoid granulomatosis and malignant lymphoma with respect to both histology and natural histor.
