Hodgkin's disease in two sisters.
The case histories of two sisters with Hodgkin's disease are reported. Although the disease developed at different ages, the clinical presentation was similar and the histological classification of biopsy material was identical in the two cases. The relative importance of genetic and environmental factors in the aetiology of the disease is discussed.
