Abstract

Hodgkin's disease without peripheral lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly is exceptional.

Case report: Hodgkin's disease was revealed by lung nodules, one of them cavitating, with mediastinal enlargement. Diagnosis was confirmed on a video-assisted pleuroscopic biopsy.

Conclusion: Hodgkin's disease should be considered in case of mediastinal enlargement with lung nodules.
