'''Hodgkin [[lymphoma]]''', abbreviated '''HL''', is a haematological [[malignancy]]. If not otherwise specified, Hodgkin lymphoma generally refers to classical Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) rather than [[nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma]] (NLPHL). The latter accounts for only about 5% of the loose label of Hodgkin lymphoma<ref name=Ref_WMSP567/> and shows a sufficiently different biology and immunophenotype that is essentially a different disease (see [[nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma|main article on NLPHL]]). The common feature is large atypical cells: Hodgkin/Reed-Sternberg cells in the case of classical Hodgkin lymphoma and "popcorn"/lymphohistiocytic/L&H cells in NLPHL. However, at least in typical cases, there are morphological and immunophenotypic differences.


==Clinical==
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma has a bi-modal distribution, afflicting young adults and with a further peak in incidence in middle-age. Fortunately, it usually has a good prognosis.
Sx:<ref name=Ref_WMSP567>{{Ref WMSP|567}}</ref>
 
*Fever, night sweats, weight loss.
Pathologists say "... it is both the easiest and hardest diagnosis to make." The reason for this is: the diagnosis depends on finding Reed-Sternberg cells (or Popcorn cells); if they are obvious the diagnosis is easy... if you can't find 'em and an alternative diagnosis is not apparent -- you wonder whether you're missing them.
*Infections (due to immune dysfunction).

==Microscopic==
Features:
*Reed-Sternberg cell (by definition).
**Large binucleated cell.
**Macronucleolus - approximately the size of a RBC (~8 micrometers).
**Well-defined cell border.


==HL subtypes==
Prognosis:
Types:<ref name=Ref_WMSP567/>
*Usually good.
*Classical HL (CHL) - ~95% of HL.
*Unlike non-Hodgkin lymphomas, it spreads in a predictable pattern; thus, staging plays an important role in determining the therapy.<ref name=PCPBoD8_315>{{Ref PCPBoD8|315}}</ref>
*Nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL (NLPHL) - ~5% of HL.
*Clinically classified into early favourable, early unfavourable and late/advanced disease.


==Classical HL==
===Classic HL sub-types===
====Subtypes of classic HL====
There are four CHL subtypes:<ref name=Ref_WMSP567/>

==Nodular lymphocyte-predominant HL==
==Gross==
*AKA ''lympho-histiocytic variant''.
Location:
*Almost always arises from a [[lymph node]] - classically in the neck, but may be in the axilla and mediastinum
*Spleen may be involved
*Bone marrow involvement is unusual (~5% of cases, higher in HIV-associated cases), so bone marrow assessment is usually not performed
*''Extranodal Hodgkin lymphoma'' is (case report) rare.<ref name=pmid11100066>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Vadmal | first1 = MS. | last2 = LaValle | first2 = GP. | last3 = DeYoung | first3 = BR. | last4 = Frankel | first4 = WL. | last5 = Marsh | first5 = WL. | title = Primary localized extranodal hodgkin disease of the transverse colon. | journal = Arch Pathol Lab Med | volume = 124 | issue = 12 | pages = 1824-7 | month = Dec | year = 2000 | doi = 10.1043/0003-9985(2000)1241824:PLEHDO2.0.CO;2 | PMID = 11100066 }}</ref>


Features:
==Microscopic==
*The diagnostic cells in this variant: relatively small, lobulated nucleus, small nucleoli.
Defined by ''Reed-Sternberg cells'' (RSCs). Morphologically similar mononuclear cells are known as Hodgkin cells. RSCs are:
*Large binucleated cell (>= 45 micrometres).<ref name=Ref_PCPBoD8_329>{{Ref PCPBoD8|329}}</ref>
**May be multinucleated.
**May have a horseshoe-like shape.
*[[Macronucleolus]] - approximately the size of a RBC (~8 micrometers).
*Well-defined cell border.
*Abundant cytoplasm.


Image:  
RSC may show peri-cellular clearing, making the cells appear within a space. These are called lacunar cells (as they are in a "lake"). Apoptotic RSC may show pyknotic nuclei and scant eosinophilic cytoplasm and are sometimes known as "mummified" cells.

==Sign out==
===Suggestive FNA===
<pre>
Lymph Node, Right Neck, FNA:
- Large binucleated and multinucleated cells with macronucleoli in
  a background of abundant lymphocytes, histiocytes, rare eosinophils.
Comment:
A cell block is not available for further work-up. The findings raise the possibility of Hodgkin's lymphoma.
A further biopsy is required for the diagnosis.
