ABSTRACT
Chest wall abscess is a very rare presentation of extranodal Hodgkin's lymphoma. Only a few case reports have been found in this regard. Here, we describe a chest wall mass developed in association with tuberculosis in an 82-year-old woman. Radiologic examination revealed two masses outside of chest wall that lead to destructive changes in the manubrium of sternum. The diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma was made by open surgical excisional biopsy of the chest wall mass. This is a very unusual extranodal presentation of Hodgkin's lymphoma
