Association of multifocal Hodgkin's lymphoma and tuberculosis infection: A challenging entity

Abstract: The association of Hodgkin's lymphoma and Tuberculosis is a rare entity, resulting in misdiagnose or delay in diagnosis of both diseases, since they share similar signs and symptoms, laboratory tests results and imaging procedures. We report the case of a 63 years old man who consulted for a clinical presentation of pulmonary and cervico-thoracic lymph nodes tuberculosis confirmed at the histopathological examination. The evolution after 5 months of antituberculous treatment was marked by the increa… Show more

“… 14 This association may sometimes be a nightmare as it may delay diagnosing each other. 15 - 17 In HL, the suppression of cell-mediated immunity may play a role in concomitant reactivation or infection of tuberculosis. 14 , 15 To the best of our knowledge, we could not find an association between lymphocyte-depleted Hodgkin lymphoma and tuberculosis, especially in the liver and spleen.…”

“…The coexistence of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and tuberculosis is a rare entity which may delay the diagnosis and treatment of either of the diseases. [ 6 ] The diagnostic dilemma between Hodgkin’s lymphoma and tuberculosis lies in the similarities in clinical course and findings from imaging studies. Nevertheless, when there is a strong clinical suspicion of tuberculosis, molecular identification and detection of mycobacteria should be performed for accurate diagnosis.…”
