ABSTRACT
A 60-year-old man undergoing maintenance hemodialysis presented with periodic fever, which resembled Pel-Ebstein fever of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Despite scores of diagnostic evaluations, origin of the fever remained obscure. On positron emission tomography/computed tomography scan, focal hot uptakes were seen in the mediastinum and mediastinoscopic biopsy showed many acid-fast bacilli with chronic granulomatous inflammation and necrosis. After a week of anti-tuberculosis medication, the patient remained afebrile without recourse to antipyretics.
