Abstract

Hodgkin’s disease may cause a variety of intrathoracic lesions through involvement of mediastinal and bronchial lymph nodes, lung and pleura. The lung changes must be distinguished from other complications of the disease and its treatment, such as infection with bacteria, fungi, viruses and protozoa. While lung changes have also been reported following radiotherapy and treatment with cytotoxic drugs such as busulphan, none has hitherto been ascribed to any of the drugs used in the treatment of this man with Hodgkin’s disease, who succumbed to what can only be described as acute interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.
