Primary Isolated Extra Nodal Esophageal Hodgkin Lymphoma in Diabetic Patient

Abstract

Primary isolated esophageal Hodgkin’s lymphoma is seldom in localization and when seen, it is usually the non-Hodgkin’s type. We reported a 68-year-old , diabetic and ex-smoker, presented to our hospital complaining of progressive difficulty of swallowing for nine month s for both solid and liquid. He was on proton pump inhibitors. Recently , he had fever and drenching night sweat and significant loss of weight. He was diagnosed as a case of isolated esophageal Hodgkin’s lymphoma that was diagnosed based on endoscopic and radiological findings. Clinical manifestations, radiological imagines and histopathological features were described. Clinical management, fellow-up and outcome were precisely discussed.
