Hello there,
Histopathological hallmark of granulomatous lesion is presence of epithelioid cell. They are nothing but the macrophages (a type of WBC)
The causes are tuberculosis (mostly in countries like India), Leprosy, Sarcoidosis, cat scratch disease and few more. You need to complete the course of Anti TB regimen and check ur results.It can also be sputum negative TB. So continue ur follow up
