Hodgkin lymphoma and lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG) are entities that contain a small number of large, variably Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive neoplastic cells scattered within background non-neoplastic mixed inflammatory infiltrate. The 2 entities can typically be distinguished histologically by the angiocentric and angiodestructive pattern of lymphomatoid granulomatosis (LYG); also, they differ in overall prognosis. Herein, we report a case of Hodgkin lymphoma in a 64-year-old Caucasian woman, diagnosed at autopsy with unusual histologic features and aggressive clinical course that mimicked LYG.
