[Familial Hodgkin's disease: a case report and review of the literature].
In a family of five sisters four developed malignant lymphomas. A case report is given together with a literature survey of familial Hodgkin's disease. The observations fit the hypothesis that for the development of Hodgkin's disease two requirements must be met: a genetically determined susceptibility as well as some causative agent.
