Lymphamtoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from Bronchocentric granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss, Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis, Wegeners granulomatosis, Hodgkins disease, Non-hodgkin lymphoma, and Nasal angiocentric lymphoma
Lymphamtoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from [[bronchocentric granulomatosis]] and [[Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis|Churg-Strauss]], [[Sarcoidosis|necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis]], [[Wegeners granulomatosis differential diagnosis|Wegeners granulomatosis]], [[Hodgkin's lymphoma|Hodgkins disease]], [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma|non-Hodgkin lymphoma]], and [[Nasal lymphoma|Nasal angiocentric lymphoma]]

Overview

Lymphamtoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from bronchocentric granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss, necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis, Wegeners granulomatosis, Hodgkins disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and Nasal angiocentric lymphoma

Differentiating Lymphamatoid granulomatosis from other Diseases

As Lymphamatoid granulomatosis manifests in a variety of clinical forms, differentiation must be established in accordance with the particular subtypes pulmonary being the most common. The sub types are the following:[1][2][3][4][5][6]

Other Symptoms that are asscociated with the pulmonary symptoms are:[10][11][12]

From the symptoms listed above; Lymphamatoid granulomatosis is usually differtiated from the following diseases bronchocentric granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss, necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis, Wegeners granulomatosis, Hodgkins disease, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and nasal angiocentric lymphoma.[15][16][17]

In contrast, CNS lymphamatoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause:[18][19][20][21]

The differentials are the following CVA, Brain tumors or CNS lymphoma and Parkinsonism.[26]

Finally Cutaneous Lymphamatoid granulomatosis must also be differtiated from other diseases that cause:[21][27][28]

The differentials are the following Dermatomyositis, and Psoriasis[34][10]

Differentiating Lymphamatoid Granulomatosis

On the basis of Cough, Dyspnea, and Chest tightness, Lymphamatoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from Bronchocentric granulomatosis and Churg-Strauss, Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis, Wegeners granulomatosis, Hodgkins disease, Non-hodgkin lymphoma, and Nasal angiocentric lymphoma.[15][16][17]

Diseases Clinical manifestations Para-clinical findings Gold standard Additional findings
Symptoms Physical examination
Lab Findings Imaging Histopathology
Cough Dyspnea Chest tightness Auscultation X-ray CT scan
Lymphmatoid granulomatosis[1] + + +
  • Dense, large, mass like infiltrate and bilateral nodular disease.
  • Poorly defined nodular peribronchovascular infiltrates with air-bronchograms.
  • Nodular and diffuse lymphoid infiltrates
  • Centers of nodules have large vessels
Churg-Strauss syndrome[35] + + +
  • Pulmonary infiltrates:Typically, these are transient patchy alveolar infiltrates.
  • Subpleural airspace consolidation
  • Enlarged hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes
  • Lung and extrapulmonary sites with eosinophilic infiltrate,
  • Granulomatous reaction
  • May have edema, lymphocytes, sarcoid-like granulomas.
  • + P-ANCA in cells on lung biposy
  • Very rare
Necrotizing sarcoid granulomatosis[36] + + -
  • Increased levels of ACE in the blood
 High levels of ACE in blood
  • Affects skin, lymph nodes and organs
  • Diagnosis of exclusion
  • Patients often have anergy to delayed hypersensitivity tests
Diseases Cough Dyspnea Chest thightness Auscultation Lab findings X-ray CT scan Histopathology Gold standard Additional findings
Wegeners granulomatosis[37] + + -
  • Pulmonary nodules with or without cavitation
  • Airspace consolidation
Hodgkin disease[38] - - -
  • Parenchymal lung involvement occurs in 1/3 of patients with Hodgkin
  • Almost all have associated hilar or mediastinal adenopathy
Non-hodgkin lymphoma[39] - - -
  • Lymphomatous appearing B and T cells( condition arises from B and T cells)
