ABSTRACT
A 3-year-old girl presented with a history of intermittent fever of six months duration associated with respiratory symptoms consisting of recurrent cough, fever, wheeze and a suspected history of contact with tuberculosis (TB). Chest radiograph revealed pulmonary infiltrates mimicking miliary TB. She was started on anti-tuberculous treatment, but in view of clinical deterioration, a further work-up including a lung biopsy revealed non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL). This case documents the extremely rare occurrence of pulmonary involvement and miliary infiltrates on the chest radiograph in NHL.
