CASE REPORT Systemic lupus erythematosus and Hodgkin disease [version 1; peer review: 1 approved, 1 approved with reservations] Besma Ben Dhaou, Fatma Boussema, Zohra Aydi, Lilia Baili, Lilia Rokbani Internal Medicine Department, Habib Thameur Hospital, Tunis, Tunisia Abstract We report on the rare association of Hodgkin’s disease with systemic lupus erythematosus. Four years after the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus, the patient developed cervical mass and weight loss. Histological and subsequent clonality studies confirmed classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma. The awareness of the association of Hodgkin’s disease with systemic lupus erythematosus and its modes of presentation will help in the early diagnosis and management of such patients.
