Hodgkin's disease with predominant epitheloid cells.
The present paper reports on a 38-year-old patient with left supraclavicular adenopathy, clinically suspect of tuberculosis. Histologic examination showed disappearance of the lymph node structure due to diffuse, nodular hyperplasia of epithelioid and Sternberg-Reed cells. The particularities of this rare form of Hodgkin's disease, described by Lennert, are discussed, as well as problems of differential diagnosis.
