Primary pulmonary involvement of Hodgkin's disease is unusual, and can be distinguished from nodal Hodgkin's disease involving the lung secondarily. We report a case of with primary pulmonary manifestation of Hodgkin's disease in young woman who survived 2 years after diagnosis with literature reviews. She had unilateral cavitating lung lesions.
