Multiloculated Cavitary Primary Pulmonary Hodgkin Lymphoma: Case Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary pulmonary Hodgkin lymphoma (PPHL) is very rare and typically involves the superior portion of the lung. Pulmonary involvement is observed in 15-40% of Hodgkin lymphoma patients. Three such patients who presented with an unusual form of PPHL in radiological studies, i.e., multiloculated cavitary lesions, were admitted to our hospital. These lesions represent a new pathological and radiological feature of PPHL.

متن کاملHodgkin's disease with pulmonary cavitation.
Pulmonary involvement with Hodgkin's disease has been estimated to occur in 40% of most large series (Ellman and Bowdler, 1960; Sternberg, Sidransky and Ochsner, 1959). Primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease is most uncommon, and in Kern's review of the literature only 18 cases were noted to fulfill the criteria that were established by the authors (Kern, Crepeau and Jones, 1961). Since that time ...
