Lymphomatoid papulosis

Some patients with disease confined to the skin have a different and more indolent disorder that has been termed cutaneous anaplastic large T/null cell lymphoma and might be related to lymphomatoid papulosis.

Wegener's granulomatosis must also be differentiated from lymphomatoid granulomatosis, the latter also being a part of the spectrum of AIL. Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is characterized by lung, skin, central nervous system, and kidney involvement in which atypical lymphocytoid and plasmacytoid cells infiltrate tissue in an angioinvasive manner.

Lymphomatoid Granulomatosis - This multisystem disorder of unknown etiology is an angiocentric malignant lymphoma characterized by a polymorphic lymphoid infiltrate, an angiitis, and granulomatosis.

Although it may affect virtually any organ, it is most frequently characterized by pulmonary, skin, and central nervous system involvement.
