Primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease and tuberculosis in an 11‐year‐old boy: Case report and review of the literature

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) has been described in association with different malignancies including Hodgkin's disease. However, the association with primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease (PPHD) is hardly reported in literature and in teenage is quite exceptional. We report a case of an 11 years old boy in whom the diagnosis of tuberculosis preceded and delayed the diagnosis of PPHL.

Mantle cell lymphoma involvement of the pleura and tuberculous pleurisy with pulmonary tuberculosis: a case report and literature review

“…Keywords used in various combinations were ''tuberculosis,'' ''lymphoma,'' ''co-existence,'' and ''concurrently.'' Including our present case, 17 cases were reported (Table 2) [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Fourteen of the 17 cases were pulmonary tuberculosis or lymph node tuberculosis.…”

Hodgkin Lymphoma Presenting as Multiple Cavitary Pulmonary Nodules With Associated Mediastinal Adenopathy and Neck Mass

“…Pure primary pulmonary HL is defined by 4 parameters: (1) histologic documentation of HL; (2) restriction to the lung paren- (4) negative bone marrow aspirates. 2 This entity is quite rare with less than 100 cases reported in the literature. 1,2,[7][8][9] This form most commonly presents as a nodular mass (single or multiple) and has a predilection for the upper lobes.…”

“…Fifteen percent to 40% of patients with HL will develop pulmonary involvement at some point during their course, with up to 9% of patients having such at the time of diagnosis. [1][2][3][4] Parenchymal disease may result from direct mediastinal extension, from lymphatic or hematogenous dissemination, or from foci of parenchymal lymphoid tissue. Pure primary pulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma (disease entirely restricted to the lung) is uncommon.…”

Unusual Bilateral Acinar Nodules: Case for Diagnosis

“…The coincidence of PPHL and tuberculosis has been described [16] . However, cultures for mycobacteria were negative in BAL, lymph nodes and lung specimen, and features of active tuberculosis were absent at lung histopathology in our patient, although latent disease cannot be ruled out.…”
