Tracheal infiltration causing stridor: a rare presentation of stage I Hodgkin's disease.
Tracheal neoplasms are easily missed until a late stage, but an accurate histological diagnosis can lead to a very worthwhile result. A case of Hodgkin's disease presenting with stridor due to tracheal infiltration, diagnosed following an endometrial biopsy and treated successfully with external beam radiotherapy, is here reported upon.
