I have a question regarding 1:13:54 - suppose you had a young patient (30s) with moderate eosinophilia (4.1k) who initially came to your practice for unilateral painless cervical lymphadenopathy (>3 weeks) and a sort of rare unproductive cough (although patient describes bloody taste, no hemoptysis). You think clear case HL first but FACS (no biopsy done) came out negative. Patient is otherwise asymptomatic, other lab results showed leukocytosis (14k), lymphopenia (11%), eos were 30%, slight thrombocytosis. History: Travelled two months earlier to a rather rural EU area; Dg atopy/atopic eczema, pompholyx, GERD (under control), no GI/other symptoms. How would you proceed? Chest/neck xray ordered, sent to heme onc. I assume you would go for CT & biopsy directly + heme onc?
Extremely nice lecture
