An immunophenotypic study of 17 cases of diffuse lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease and 20 cases of nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease, along with eight of mixed cellularity and five of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease, is reported. The atypical cells in nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease showed only minor differences from the published consensus. However, the atypical cells in diffuse lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease showed an immunophenotype which was commonly B-cell positive (59%), but in a minority of cases LeuM1 (24%) or epithelial membrane antigen (12%) positive; none of the cases was Ber-H2 positive. These results do not differ greatly from our findings in nodular lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease, but do diverge from the published consensus for diffuse lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease. The question as to whether morphology or immunophenotype should form the primary diagnostic criterion for the definition of lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin's disease is discussed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008214	Lymphocytes	White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules. Most lymphocytes can be classified as either T or B (with subpopulations of each), or NATURAL KILLER CELLS.	Lymphoid Cells,Cell, Lymphoid,Cells, Lymphoid,Lymphocyte,Lymphoid Cell

D006689	Hodgkin Disease	A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue. In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and REED-STERNBERG CELLS are present; in the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.

D015214	Antigens, Differentiation, Myelomonocytic	Surface antigens expressed on myeloid cells of the granulocyte-monocyte-histiocyte series during differentiation. Analysis of their reactivity in normal and malignant myelomonocytic cells is useful in identifying and classifying human leukemias and lymphomas.

D016130	Immunophenotyping	Process of classifying cells of the immune system based on structural and functional differences. The process is commonly used to analyze and sort T-lymphocytes into subsets based on CD antigens by the technique of flow cytometry.

D018396	Mucin-1	Carbohydrate antigen elevated in patients with tumors of the breast, ovary, lung, and prostate as well as other disorders. The mucin is expressed normally by most glandular epithelia but shows particularly increased expression in the breast at lactation and in malignancy. It is thus an established serum marker for breast cancer.
