چکیده
A patient with nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease had at least three episodes of lung involvement consisting of an infiltrate on one occasion and multiple cavitating nodules on the other two. The cytologic and histologic studies of the lung specimens disclosed the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells on each occasion without any evidence for infection. This represents the first time in which recurrent cavitating nodules have been reported with Hodgkin's disease.
