Coxalgia as the initial symptom in Hodgkin's disease: a case report

Primary Hodgkin's disease in the bone is extremely rare. We report the case of a 41-year-old woman with Hodgkin's disease, who had complained of left coxalgia 17 months prior to nodal involvement becoming evident clinically. She received combination chemotherapy with doxorubicin, bleomycin, vincristine and dacarbazine as well as radiotherapy to the pelvic lesion. Although the lymphadenopathy responded well to this treatment, the bone lesion was never in remission. The large mass of the bone lesion and its pelvic origin may explain the poor response to the cytotoxic therapies this patient received. The 22 cases reviewed showed that: 1, bony pain was the most frequent initial symptom; 2, nodal disease appeared in their clinical course in most cases; 3, the bones most commonly involved were pelvis, femur or tibia, and spine.
