Abstract
Among patients with malignancy of uterus, breast, stomach, lungs or lymphomas, Sarcoid-like granulomas can often occur. Some tumours like Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma have shown such reactions. In parallel, HL is widely distorted by cell-mediated immunity, so immunodeficiency can lead to infections, mainly viral infections due to Epstein-Barr virus, herpes virus, cytomegalovirus and species of Mycobacterium infections like tuberculosis could manifest.
