Abstract

Hodgkin’s lymphoma most commonly presents as painless lymphadenopathy and systemic B symptoms like fever, night sweats, and weight loss. But rarely, it can present with unusual paraneoplastic manifestations. In the present case, we report a 30-year-old woman who presented with sub-acute onset pan-cerebellar symptoms. The serum neuronal antibody panel was negative. She underwent F-18 FDG PET/CT to evaluate the neoplastic etiology as the underlying cause, which demonstrated both the primary etiology and the paraneoplastic changes in the brain.
