ABSTRACT: Primary
isolated esophageal Hodgkin’s lymphoma is seldom in localization and when seen, it is usually the non-Hodgkin’s
type. We reported a 68-year-old, diabetic and ex-smoker, presented to
our hospital complaining of progressive difficulty of swallowing for nine months for both solid and liquid.
He was on proton pump inhibitors. Recently, he had fever and drenching night sweat and significant loss of weight. He was diagnosed as a case of isolated esophageal
Hodgkin’s lymphoma that was diagnosed based on endoscopic and radiological findings. Clinical
manifestations, radiological imagines and histopathological features were
described. Clinical management, fellow-up and outcome were precisely discussed.
