Granulomatous hepatitis preceding Hodgkin’s disease (Case-Report and review on differential diagnosis)

[摘要] Granulomas are a frequent finding in various organs with a wide range of causes. Hepatic granulomas most often occur in the course of sar-coidosis or tuberculosis. However, they also may develop during Hodgkin’s disease or sometimes even precede lymphoma as shown in the case of a patient presented here. Early diagnosis of Hodgkin’s disease is essential, and in the case of unexplained granulomatous hepatitis it can be achieved by taking the patients history into consideration.
