description Tuberculosis (TB) presenting with Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a rare and difficult clinical situation for any physician to identify and to manage because of very similar clinical presentation. Herein we report a case of 29 year old woman who presented with enlarged lymph nodes, diagnosed and initiated on therapy for TB, based on the cervical node biopsy that showed granulomatous lymphadenitis suggestive of TB. Despite being on regular isoniazid, rifampicin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol regimen, she did not improve but worsened clinically! After an extensive work up that included endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) and mediastinoscopy, a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease of nodular sclerosis type was made. She was treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy along with her TB therapy. Patient showed significant improvement following therapy.
