Abstract
Centro-facial malignant granuloma is a syndrome that encompasses several co nditions. Studies using immunolabeling and molecular biology techniques hav e shown that T-cell lymphoma is among the causes of centro-facial malignant granuloma. Six cases of centro-facial T-cell lymphoma in three men and thr ee women aged 28 to 57 years (mean age, 39 years) were studied. The outcome was favorable in two cases after chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
