Cutaneous Hodgkin's disease.
A case of specific cutaneous Hodgkin's disease, which is sparsely mentioned in the literature, is reported. The lesion was nodulo-ulcerative and corresponded to the Grosz-Hirschfield type. It was confirmed by biopsy and the pattern was similar to that of an excised supraclavicular node examined two years previously. The lesion responded to treatment with gentamicin topically, clindamycin orally and 500 r of cauterizing X-ray. There has been no recurrence to date and no other new cutaneous lesions. This report further confirms what Ferdinand von Hebra implied one hundred years ago--that a dermatologist should not only know skin diseases but also the cutaneous manifestations of visceral diseases.
