Skin involvement in Hodgkin's disease: a case report.
Skin involvement of Hodgkin's disease, which typically occurs in the advanced stage, is rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of Hodgkin's disease which recurred solely in the skin and followed a favorable clinical course. A 44-year-old Japanese man was diagnosed as having a mediastinal Hodgkin's disease in January 1983. After a complete remission, recurrent skin tumors appeared in the left supraclavicular and anterior chest regions in March 1988. No evidence of lymph nodes or visceral organ involvement was detected. The tumors regressed after chemotherapy. There is no evidence of the disease 7 months after discharge.
