Hodkgin lymphoma concomitant of tuberculosis, a therapeutic challenge for multidisciplinary management.

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a disease characterized by a high curability rate, and the treatment benefit-risk balance must be carefully addressed to achieve complete disease control with low risk of long-term toxicities. Most patients are treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, after disease staging and response to treatment evaluated by FDG PET/CT. We report the case of a 28-year-old patient concomitantly diagnosed of a Hodgkin lymphoma and active tuberculosis. Initial staging was difficult due to pulmonary and abdominal tuberculosis localization that induced FDG PET/CT hypermetabolism. Anti-tuberculosis treatment was first started, allowing secondary an early accurate Hodgkin lymphoma staging by FDG PET/CT. The patient was then treated by chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Helical TomoTherapy® was used with involved site (IS) irradiation volume was performed to decrease the high doses to organs-at-risk (OAR), especially lungs in this context of tuberculosis.
