[Hodgkin's disease limited to intrathoracic sites. Case report].
Hodgkin's disease without peripheral lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly is exceptional.


METHODS
Hodgkin's disease was revealed by lung nodules, one of them cavitating, with mediastinal enlargement. Diagnosis was confirmed on a video-assisted pleuroscopic biopsy.


CONCLUSIONS
Hodgkin's disease should be considered in case of mediastinal enlargement with lung nodules.
