a) 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography in a 72-year-old male revealed pulmonary nodules in the lower lobes. Surgical lung biopsy of the consolidation in the right lower lobe revealed lymphomatoid granulomatosis. b) Lymphomatoid granulomatosis histopathological specimen in the same patient showing a well-demarcated cellular nodule with a central area of necrosis (asterisk). The preserved alveolar parenchyma is shown in the lower part of the image, below the dashed line. c) The angiocentric nature of the lesion.
