A Case Of Hodgkin Lymphoma Presenting As Soft Tissue Mass

Abstract

The most common early sign of hodgkin lymphoma is a painless swelling (enlargement) of one or more lymph nodes. Lymphoma presenting as a soft tissue mass is relatively uncommon and can easily be confused with a wide variety of inflammatory conditions (neoplasia as well as infectious diseases). Chest wall involvement is uncommon and occurs in about 0.64% of cases . It may represent either an initial manifestation of the disease or a site of recurrence. Here we present a case of Hodgkin lymphoma presenting as soft tissue mass in right side of chest wall without nodal involvement.
