RESUMEN
A 38-year-old male patient presented to the ear, nose and throat department with shortness of breath over last 2 months. The CT scan of the neck and chest revealed a 3.3×3 cm tumour behind the right thyroid lobe extending into the tracheo-oesophageal (TO) groove with tracheal compression. The ultrasound scan of the neck and targeted fine needle aspiration followed by core biopsy raised a suspicion of Hodgkin's lymphoma. The patient underwent a right hemithyroidectomy and incisional biopsy of the right TO groove tumour. The histology confirmed a Hasenclever's three nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma for which he received adjuvant chemotherapy. An incidental pT1a pN0 thyroid papillary microcarcinoma in the adjacent thyroid parenchyma was completely excised. This represents a case of TO Hodgkin's lymphoma, of which there are no current published case reports. We aim to raise awareness about this rare condition by sharing the diagnostic work up and successful management in a multidisciplinary team setting.
