Abstract
Two patients are described in whom the clinical manifestation of massive, localized dermal and subcutaneous epithelioid granulomatous masses occasioned an extensive year-long search for infectious organisms. In both instances, the true diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease or lymphoma was ultimately made by means of lymph node biopsy.
