About the long course of lymphogranulomatosis with X-ray therapy

The usual course of lymphogranulomatosis, according to the literature, as well as the materials of our clinic, is calculated on average in 1 - year. Among the far unexplored variety of forms of lymphogranulomatosis, along with acute forms, there are rare benign forms with a longer course — up to 10 years or more. The latter cases are of particular interest as material for studying the clinical picture of this disease, its pathogenesis, as well as factors that favorably affect the course of this process. That is why we consider it not superfluous to publish two cases with a long course, and the first, which ended with an autopsy, deserves special attention, due to the exceptional results of the applied X-ray therapy.
