    Abstract:
    Hodgkin's disease involving the lung and pleura is rare. A case of a 40-year-old woman with one year history of pain in the left arms spreading into chest is presented. Computed tomography showed a mass of 5 x 7 cm in the left hemithorax mediastinum and pleura, pleural effusion and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Diagnostic methods including percutaneous needle aspiration biopsy of pleura, brochoscopic biopsies, bronchoalveolar lavage, cytological examination of the pleural fluid did not disclose any pathological diagnosis. Lastly, we performed pleural biopsy by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and we showed that the lesion was HD of nodular sclerosing type.
