“…Nodules can disappear or migrate spontaneously [27], and may display central ground-glass opacity surrounded by denser consolidation at least 2 mm thick-the so called ''reversed halo sign''. However, this is a non-specific sign, most commonly seen in organising pneumonia [28].…”

The differential diagnosis of pyrexia, lung nodules and granulomas includes tuberculosis, vasculitis and rarely a malignancy. In countries where tuberculosis or histoplasmosis is endemic, these are the first consideration and often ruled out by microbiological investigations. Vasculitis like granulomatosis with polyangitis (Wegener's granulomatosis), Churg strauss syndrome and sarcoidosis, which are the second consideration, are ruled out by serological investigations. Confirmation of malignancy merits histopathology. This case highlights how a rare diagnosis of pulmonary lymphomatoid granulomatosis was reached after an open lung biopsy. The following case also describes the natural history of this rare disease as it showed transient spontaneous remission but ultimately required therapy.

“…20% of Stage 1 patients can achieve spontaneous remission [4], but the course of PLG can be fulminant. Studies have shown a median survival of 14 months and a mortality of 65–90%, with death resulting from various causes: pulmonary complications, severe neurological disease, or complications of therapy [16]. …”

A 70-year-old female presented with a 4-week history of dry cough and wheezing. Chest radiograph showed a 10.5 cm mass-like density in the anterior mediastinum which had not been previously visualized. Computed tomography scan (CT) of the chest showed a right hilar mass encasing and narrowing right upper lobe bronchus and right mainstem bronchus and secondary atelectatic changes. Biopsy was consistent with a diagnosis of lymphomatoid granulomatosis Grade 3. She responded well clinically and radiologically to therapy. Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is a rare EBV-associated disorder which is considered a lymphoproliferative disease. The most common radiographic feature is multiple lung nodules. An isolated hilar mass is an exceptionally rare presentation of this rare disease.
