Intracranial involvement of the Hodgkin disease (HD) is a rare entity. Until now, 9 cases of initial presentation of the HD as a brain tumor with appropriate morphologic and histochemical confirmation were reported. Of the 9 patients, 6 had isolated primary intracranial HD and 3 patients after further investigation were found to have extracranial involvement. Seven patients had nodular sclerosing histology, 1 had mixed cellularity, and in 1 case histology was not reported. We describe a patient with systemic nodular sclerosing HD, who initially presented with a brain mass mimicking meningioma and was found to have disseminated lymphadenopathy and bone involvement.
