Primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease and tuberculosis in an 11‐year‐old boy: Case report and review of the literature

Tuberculosis (TB) has been described in association with different malignancies including Hodgkin's disease. However, the association with primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease (PPHD) is hardly reported in literature and in teenage is quite exceptional. We report a case of an 11 years old boy in whom the diagnosis of tuberculosis preceded and delayed the diagnosis of PPHL. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2006; 41: 694–698. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
