| Abstract: | Although both Hodgkin lymphoma and cyst hydatic disease in children have been seen with an increased frequency, there is no previously reported case of Hodgkin lymphoma associated with cyst hydatic disease from Turkey. The authors report such a case of Hodgkin lymphoma. Intrahepatic cystic masses were diagnosed during ultrasound examination for clinical staging on admission. The diagnosis of cyst hydatic of the liver was confirmed by surgery. Although there was no residual and/or new cyst formation on radiologic follow-up, elevated antibody titers (indirect hemagglutination test) persisted following surgical excision at least for 2 years of follow-up. |
