Abstract

The case of a patient with pulmonary Hodgkin's lymphoma is presented. The disease debuted with respiratory symptoms and radiological signs of the cavitating pulmonary infiltrate with no peripheral lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis was established based on morphological study of the damaged area after lung resection. Whole body PET/CT made it possible to clarify the extent of the tumor by identification of metabolically active peripheral (cervical and axillary) and intrathoracic lymph nodes. The role of morphological and radiological assessment methods in the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma is discussed.
