Spontaneous, suppurative-necrotizing changes associated with Hodgkin's disease (HD) are not infrequent. They are mostly observed in the nodular sclerosis variant of HD and can cause an erroneous histologic diagnosis of suppurative lymphadenitis. Few cytologic reports describing this presentation of

โฆ Synopsis
We report one case of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease with uncommon pseudosuppurative presentations in fineneedle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) samples and on histopathologic material. The criteria for cytologic diagnosis include atypical mononuclear cells and diagnostic SR cells in the purulent exudate. This lesion is considered a possible pitfall in
