title: Hypereosinophilia in hodgkin lymphoma.
abstract: The incidence of eosinophilia in Hodgkin lymphoma is approximately 15%. Both peripheral and tissue eosinophilia have been noted in Hodgkin lymphoma. Eosinophils have important role in pathobiology of Hodgkin lymphoma. The mechanism of eosinophilia remains unknown though various mediators like IL-5 and GM-CSF have been implicated. We present a case who was diagnosed to have Hodgkin lymphoma and hypereosinophilia.
