The lymphoid tissues of Waldeyer's ring, including the nasopharynx, are very rare sites for Hodgkin's disease and are considered to be relatively resistant to it. This report of a case of Hodgkin's disease of the post-nasal space demonstrates the difficulty of making the diagnosis histologically and the characteristic immunohistochemical features of this disease. Before immunohistochemistry became so widely available, some authors speculated it might be underdiagnosed (Eavey and Goodman, 1982; O'Reilly and Kershaw, 1987). Judging by its continued rarity, this appears not to be the case.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
D003593 Cytoplasm The part of a cell that contains the CYTOSOL and small structures excluding the CELL NUCLEUS; MITOCHONDRIA; and large VACUOLES. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990) Protoplasm,Cytoplasms,Protoplasms
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.
