Figure

• 

  Fig. 1 Chest computed tomography. (A) It reveals a mass shadow involving the bronchus along with interstitial and consolidation opacities in the left lower lung field. (B) Enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes are noted.

• 

  Fig. 2 Light microscopic findings. (A) Transbronchial lung biopsy specimens reveal scattered large atypical cells, resembling Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in the background of lymphocytes (H&E, ×400). (B) The large atypical cells are positive for CD30 (immunohistochemical staining, ×400).

• 

  Fig. 3 CT scan images. (A) Chest computed tomography reveals improvement in the mass shadow accompanied by interstitial and consolidation opacities in the left lower lung field. (B) Chest computed tomography reveals improvement in the enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes.
