Systemic to pulmonary fistulas in Hodgkin's disease

C Sabadell et al. Respiration. 2000.

Abstract

Systemic to pulmonary fistula is an unusual entity and its association with hematological diseases like Hodgkin's is extremely rare. We present a case of a 26-year-old woman with a thoracic mass and large arteriovenous fistula. The diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease, nodular sclerosis, was obtained by a biopsy of the supraclavicular lymph node. We achieved an excellent response after combined treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy and arterial embolization with complete disappearance of the mass.
