Abstract
Abstract: Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative malignancy. Originally described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1982..Epidemiological, trend followed by Hodgkin lymphoma is different in developed countries from that compared to developing countries. There are only few reports from India regarding the epidemiological and clinic pathological features of Hodgkin lymphoma. We studied 129 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma, from MEHDI NAWAZ JUNG Tertiary Cancer hospital, over a span of 3 years, from May 2007 to May 2010, out of which 97 patients were male and 32 were female with M: F ratio of 3:1. Most common presentation was with cervical lymphadenopathy, followed by B symptoms and very few with both lymphadenopathy and B symptoms. Age range was between 4 to 65 years with maximum cases occurring in first three decades. Most common site of biopsy was cervical lymph nodes with all histological subtypes occurring. The most common histological subtype being mixed cellularity. As Hodgkin lymphoma is often cured, in approximating 80% of the cases. Hence there is great potential of adding years of productive life by giving curative therapy. Keywords:Hodgkin, lymphoma,WHO, lymphoproliferative, malignancy.
