AI Article Synopsis
- * No previous cases have been reported of cannonball pulmonary appearances leading to a Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosis, highlighting the uniqueness of this situation.
- * This case report discusses a 14-year-old girl with difficulty breathing who was found to have cannonball pulmonary nodes on her chest x-ray, ultimately diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma after an axillary lymph node biopsy.
Article Abstract
The cannonball pulmonary appearance is hematogenous dissemination of various primary tumors but rarely a Hodgkin's lymphoma, a disease that most commonly manifests with lymphadenopathy, often affecting the mediastinum and supraclavicular or cervical lymph nodes. To date, to the best of our knowledge, no case has been reported where the investigation of a cannonball pulmonary appearance led to the diagnosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Hence, in our case report, we attempt to highlight the uncommon presentation of this disease in a 14-year-old girl who initially presented with dyspnea before her chest x-ray revealed a cannonball pulmonary appearance, which was later linked with Hodgkin's lymphoma after performing a biopsy of her axillary node.
