The evolution of Hodgkin's disease and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma syndrome.
We describe a woman in whom hypogammaglobulinemia and severe granulomatous cutaneous lesions had developed during childhood; subsequently, Hodgkin's disease and necrobiotic xanthogranuloma were diagnosed. This case illustrates an apparent association with disease activity and raises the question of a direct relationship of necrobiotic xanthogranuloma with lymphoproliferative disease.
