Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Lymphoma is the third most common cancer among children. Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HD) is a malignant process of lymphoreticular system, majority B – cell origin that constitutes 6% of childhood cancers.1 HD arises in a single node or chain of nodes and spreads first to the anatomically contiguous nodes. It is characterized morphologically by distinct presence of neoplastic giant cells called Reed Sternberg cells that induce accumulation of reactive lymphocytes, granulocytes and histiocytes.2 Course of the disease is variable but prognosis has improved with modern treatment.
