We report on a 12-year-old girl with a prolonged history of cough and hemoptysis on three occasions. X-ray and computed tomography of the chest showed several cavitating lesions and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Lung biopsy revealed nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease. Hodgkin's disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cavitating pulmonary lesions.
