{Abstract}: Nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma commonly presents with a mediastinal mass, but it rarely compresses or invades mediastinal structures or the anterior chest wall. Histologically, it can cause necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. A woman with a right breast mass extending from an asymptomatic large mediastinal mass selectively compressing the trachea is presented. A computed tomography-guided core needle biopsy from the anterior chest wall mass revealed necrotizing granulomatous inflammation. Finally, the diagnosis of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma was made by incisional biopsy. Clinical suspicion of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's lymphoma is crucial since an adequate tissue diagnosis is needed when the initial less invasive diagnostic testing is inconclusive.
