Abstract

Although pulmonary involvement in Hodgkin's disease is common, the presentation with multiple cavitating lung lesions is exceedingly rare, having been described in only five patients. The authors present a case report of a 27-year-old woman with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease treated with conventional chemotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation. The patient relapsed with multiple cavitating lung lesions requiring open-lung biopsy for diagnosis.
