Overview
The exact cause of lymphomatoid granulomatosis is unknown. Lymphomatoid granulomatosis occurs with more in people with some form of immune system dysability including individuals with Sjogren syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis or chronic viral hepatitis.
It is likely that some amalgamation of immunodeficiency, genetic and familial factors all contribute a role in the causation of lymphomatoid granulomatosis. The therapy used varies, but is generally directed towards eliminating the EBV-infected B-cells or strengthening of the immune system.[1][2]
Causes
Common Causes
Lymphomatoid granulomatosis involves malignant B cells and reactive, non-malignant T cells and is almost always associated with infection of the malignant B cells by the Epstein-Barr virus; it is therefore known to be a form of the Epstein-Barr virus-associated lymphoproliferative diseases. The disease is believed to be induced by a combination of Epstein Barr virus infection and immunosuppression through immunosuppressive drugs (with case reports of methotrexate and azathioprine), infections such as HIV or chronic viral hepatitis or endogenous T cell defects.[3][4][5]=
