An 8‐year‐old female presented with fever and severe pain in the hipbones and legs for 2½ months. Investigations revealed a leukemoid reaction and bilateral diffuse nodular opacities on chest X‐ray. Supraclavicular lymph node biopsy was diagnostic of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), mixed cellularity. Both pulmonary nodules and leukemoid reaction being present in the same patient with HL has not been reported. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2010;55:193–195. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
