Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis Of The Central Nervous System, Successfully Treated With Corticosteroid Alone: A Case Report And Review Of The Literature

Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) is a rare, Epstein barr virus (EBV) associated, angiocentric B cell proliferation, which usually involves the lung but may also involve, more rarely, the central nervous system. Its malignant potential is uncertain, and seems to be linked to the number of EBV positive B cells.
