Primary pulmonary classical Hodgkin lymphoma: a case report.
[hodgkin lymphoma, classical]
Primary
pulmonary
Hodgkin
lymphoma
(
PPHL
)
is
a
rare
entity
.
Most
reported
cases
occurred
before
the
availability
of
PET
scan
for
accurate
staging
of
the
disease
.
We
report
a
case
of
PPHL
for
which
PET
/
CT
scan
was
used
and
surgery
was
performed
to
confirm
the
diagnosis
.
A
review
of
cases
of
PPHL
since
1990
suggests
that
adjuvant
chemotherapy
and
/
or
radiation
therapy
after
surgical
resection
of
the
lung
lesions
achieve
better
disease
control
than
surgical
resection
alone
.
