Utility of Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy in Diagnosing Pulmonary Hodgkin’s Lymphoma

Lung involvement in Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is relatively uncommon. Diagnosis is made by histopathological examination of lung tissue samples. The need for detailed immunohistochemical studies to establish the diagnosis necessitates obtaining tissue samples of adequate size and quality. We present a case of recurrent Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in the lung, diagnosed from transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC).
