Cutaneous granulomas in malignant lymphoma

Arch Dermatol. 1980 Apr;116(4):441-3.

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.
