Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a B- Cell neoplasm occurring in lymph nodes and extra-nodal sites. Among the latter, skin involvement is a rare phenomenon with a very low incidence rate. Cutaneous involvement of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma may have varied clinical presentations from erythematous papules to ulcers. However, a thorough search in histology shows the classic RS cells which are diagnostic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but this needs a high degree of suspicion. Presentation of Hodgkin Lymphoma, in an elderly female patient of 60 years of age bearing erythematous skin changes over breast which made a clinical suspicion of inflammatory breast carcinoma, is presented here.
