==Overview==
==[[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis overview|Overview]]==
'''Lymphomatoid granulomatosis''' is a [[neoplastic]] disease.
==[[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==


It is a [[lymphoproliferative disorder]] (lymphomatoid means lymphoma-like). The word [[granulomatosis]] denotes one of its microscopic character, polymorphic lymphoid infiltrates and focal [[necrosis]] within it.
==[[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis classification|Classification]]==


It usually involves lung, skin, and central nervous system.

There currently is a protocol being run by Dr. Wyndham H. Wilson at the NIH<ref>{{cite web |url=http://bethesdatrials.cancer.gov/Wilson/94c0074/default.asp |title=National Cancer Institute: Clinical Trials at NIH: Clinical Research: Clinical Trial Spotlight: Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis NCI-94-C-0074 |accessdate=2007-09-04 |format= |work=}}</ref> which has had extraordinary results in which a significant percentage of participants see extended remission periods.
==[[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis screening|Screening]]==
==[[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis natural history|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==


The experimental treatment involves the use of [[interferon]]s to re-set the immune system.
