Two cases of pleural-based Hodgkin's disease without antecedent or coincedent mediastinal adenopathy or parenchymal involvement are presented. This entity has not previously been reported. The occurrence of a plural-based density in a patient with known Hodgkin's disease even without mediastinal or parenchymal involvement should lead to the suspicion of Hodgkin's disease. If pathologic documentation is required, this can be easily achieved by needle biopsy. This pleural form of the disease appears to respond completely to chemotherapy.
