Abstract :






We report the case of a 78-year-old woman, presenting with enlarged axillary lymph nodes. Histological analysis of the lymph nodes demonstrated the co-existence of locally advanced breast carcinoma, scleronodular Hodgkin’s disease and tuberculous lymphadenitis. The association of the 3 disorders in the same lymphatic region is unreported so far.
