ABSTRACT
A case of eosinophilic granuloma involving bone and lung in a patient with Hodgkin disease is reported. The lesion appeared several months after the patient had completed a course of chemotherapy. The single bony lesion was resected and the pulmonary lesions disappeared spontaneously. The occurrence of eosinophilic granuloma in a patient with Hodgkin disease has rarely been reported.

The accepted management of Hodgkin's disease has changed markedly in the past two decades. It should be considered a tumor of unifocal origin and potentially one of the most curable cancers, given early diagnosis, careful evaluation, meticulously accurate staging and aggressive, radical treatment. This requires a team effort, is tedious and expensive, and morbidity and mortality remain significant, but the high yield of long remissions and apparent cures justifies this approach to the problem.
