Primary pulmonary involvement of Hodgkin's disease is unusual, and can be distinguished from nodal Hodgkin's disease involving the lung secondarily. We report a case of with primary pulmonary manifestation of Hodgkin's disease in young woman who survived 2 years after diagnosis with literature reviews. She had unilateral cavitating lung lesions. After pathological examination, we diagnosed as primary pulmonary Hodgkin's disease, mixed cellularity type and treated with conventional chemotherapy and adjuvant radiation.
