Also called Hodgkin disease and Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease is a malignant, but potentially curable, disease of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue.
Five variants are defined by the World Health Organization, grouped into two classes:[1]
- Classical
- nodular sclerosis
- mixed cellularity
- lymphocyte depleted
- lymphocyte rich
- nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin disease (NLPHD).
Classical and NLHPD are different clinical entities.[2]
In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells, the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.
