Fine needle aspiration biopsy of a cutaneous relapse of lymphomatoid granulomatosis. A case report.
We present the cytopathologic features of lymphomatoid granulomatosis in a case affecting the subcutaneous tissue. Atypical lymphocytes mixed with histiocytes and well-formed granulomas were the main findings. Fine needle aspiration biopsy can be a useful method of diagnosing subcutaneous relapses in lymphomatoid granulomatosis. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of these characteristics.
