Mediastinal Hodgkin's disease in young females is usually of the nodular sclerosing type. Pulmonary involvement is seen in 15-50%cases of Hodgkin's disease. It is possible to suggest a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease in sputum by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. We report herewith a case of a 22-year-old female diagnosed bypost-bronchoscopy sputum cytology and confirmed by histopathology. A transthoracic fine needle aspiration biopsy proved inconclusive.
