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. | ||
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. | Classical Hodgkin lymphoma has a bi-modal distribution, afflicting young adults and with a further peak in incidence in middle-age.

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. | |||
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. | |||
