[Lymphomatoid granulomatosis]

We present two patients with lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LG) which was diagnosed from the histopathology of cutaneous lesions. Combined cytostatic and corticosteroid treatment induced transient, partial remission in one case, but a lethal outcome could not be prevented in either case. Monoclonal-antibody typing of lesional infiltrates indicated that LG is a malignant T-cell lymphoma.
