Abstract
Non hodgkins lymphoma is a common haematological malignancy characterized by abnormal clonal proliferation of T-cells, B-cells or both. The incidence of non hodgkins lymphoma is rapidly rising. The diagnosis and management of NHL presents as a challenge in developing countries like India due to high prevalence of tuberculosis, cost and poor patient compliance. We describe an unusual case of a patient who presented as a diagnostic dilemma and took 8 diagnosis before finally being confirmed as a case of NHL. A suspicion for NHL should always be kept in mind in a patient presenting with pneumonia, bilateral pulmonary infiltrates and eosinophilia.
