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 [Disease name] 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:

  • Pulmonary
  • CNS
  • Dermatologic

Pulmonary Lymphamatoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause:

  • Cough(non-productive, rarely hemoptysis can occur)
  • Dyspnea
  • Chest tightness

Other Symptoms that are asscociated with the pulmonary symptoms are:

  • Malaise
  • Weight loss
  • Fatigue

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.

In contrast, CNS lymphamatoid granulomatosis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause:

  • mental status changes
  • Headaches
  • Seizures
  • Hemiparesis
  • Ataxia

The differentials are the following CVA and Brain tumors or CNS lymphoma.

Finally Dermatologic Lymphamatoid granulomatosis must also be differtiated from other diseases that cause:

  • Erythematous rash
  • Macules
  • Papules
  • Plaques
  • Subcutaneous nodules
  • Larger ulcerated nodules

The differentials are the following dermatomyositis, and Psoriasis

Differentiating Lymphamatoid Granulomatosis

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