Endobronchial Hodgkin\'s disease is a rare condition, often confused with endobronchial tuberculosis in our setting. We report the case of Hodgkin\'s lymphoma presenting as an endobronchial localization in a 36-year-old man who had been experiencing nonspecific symptoms such as coughing, dyspnea, fever, and weight loss for three months. Sputum examination for acid-fast bacilli (AFB) using GenExpert was negative. A chest, abdominal, and pelvic CT scan revealed a mediastinal tumor mass encompassing the left vascular and tracheobronchial structures, associated with multiple supra- and subdiaphragmatic lymphadenopathies. This was followed by a bronchoscopy, which revealed a bud obstructing the apical orifice of the left lower lobe bronchus. Immunohistochemical analysis of the bronchial biopsy was consistent with Hodgkin\'s lymphoma. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
