Hodgkin's Disease First Suggested by Sputum Cytology

Robert S. Eisenberg M.D., F.C.C.P.1 and Betty L. Dunton C.T.1

1 Director, Respiratory Therapy, Huntington Memorial Hospital and La Vina Hospital for Respiratory Diseases; Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles

This 17-year-old Caucasian youth was suspected of having pulmonary Hodgkin's disease on the basis of abnormal sputum cytologic preparations. The diagnosis was confirmed by surgery a short time later. He did well for two years on cobalt therapy and chemotherapy before finally dying of disseminated Hodgkin's disease. This is the first recorded case to our knowledge of Hodgkin's disease which was initially diagnosed by sputum cytologic examination.
