Abstract
Hodgkin's lymphoma rarely involves the lung parenchyma. When it does, the patient might complain of chest discomfort, cough, dyspnea, fatigue, fever, weight loss, and night sweats. We report such a rare manifestation of Hodgkin's lymphoma occurring in a 27-year-old woman. She initially presented with chronic dry cough and exertional dyspnea. Her chest radiography and computed tomography revealed a huge mass with central necrosis located in the left middle lung and anterior mediastinum. The galium-67 scan likewise showed a bulky tumor mass within the left hemithorax. The pathologic examination of the echo-guided transcutaneous lung biopsy demonstrated the mass to be Hodgkin's lymphoma.
