Abstract
The spectrum of intrapulmonary findings of Hodgkin's disease is illustrated by 75 pulmonary episodes of 22 patients with Hodgkin's disease (duration of illness up to 14 years). Both the typical and frequent, as well as the rare pulmonary manifestations are discussed. We analysed the time correlation between pulmonary changes and clinical manifestations, and the effect of therapy. This retrospective investigation showed that more than 55% of the observed 75 pulmonary episodes have been diagnosed correctly by the initial radiological examination. By simultaneous appearance of different forms of disease propagation, sideeffect of therapy and superimposed diseases, diagnosis may be impaired.
