Abstract
- The endobronchial presentation of Hodgkin's disease is defined as : 1) having the histological features of Hodgkin's disease, irrespective of the biopsy site, and 2) a bronchoscopic visualization of an endobronchial tumor at the time of the initial diagnosis1. The presentation of Hodgkin's disease, as an endobronchial lesion, is very uncommon, with only a few isolated cases having been reported, and no accurate incidence is available. An endobronchial lymphoma must be considered when patients present with an endobronchial tumor, as careful staging and treatment may lead to a cure and avoid of the need for major surgery. Also, when patients, with a known lymphoma, present with respiratory symptoms, they should be considered for a bronchoscopy to avoid understaging of the disease. Herein, a case of endobronchial Hodgkin's disease, in a 20-year-old woman, is reported.
