title: [Esophageal localization revealing Hodgkin's disease].
abstract: The authors report the case of a 28 year old man with Stage III E Hodgkin's disease presenting with massive upper oesophageal involvement with cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis was confirmed by lymph node and endoscopic biopsies (mixed cellularity). A complete remission was obtained by chemotherapy (ABVD) followed by extended radiotherapy. Then other cases have been previously reported. Upper oesophageal involvement with mediastinal lymphadenopathy often occurring in young patients raises the differential diagnosis of a carcinoma. The efficacy of chemotherapy of first intention is underlined.
