abstract：:Lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) is an uncommon but potentially fatal disease. The disease primarily involves the lungs; however, skin, renal, and central nervous system (CNS) are seen in varying proportions. Neurological involvement occurs in one third of the patients, and confers a worse prognosis. The use of radiot...
