Hodgkin's disease in childhood. 1979

E A Alsabti

The histopathologic study of 103 patients with Hodgkin's disease including 5 cases who had staging laparotomy during the last 10 years were reviewed. The following conclusions were drawn: 1. No significant sex difference among subtypes were noted. 2. Associated glomerulopathy, nephrotic syndromes, and amyloidosis were occasionally found. 3. In childhood lymphomas excluding leukemia are the most frequent malignacies. Among the lymphomas, Hodgkin's disease predominates. 4. The most frequent subtype both in the original biopsy and after staging laparotomy was mixed cellularity. The nodular sclerosis type was the rarest. The subtypes generally did not change in the subsequent biopsies and in laparatomy done up to 6 months later. 5. It is most frequently noted in cervical area. Males are affected more than females. The peak incidence was in the first decade of age group. A brief review of the literature and discussion on the comparison of data from other countries is given.
