A case of Hodgkin's disease arising from an intraglandular lymph node in the parotid gland.
Malignant lymphoma of the parotid gland region, especially Hodgkin's disease of the gland, is an extremely rare disorder. We have recently experienced a case initially suspected of being pleomorphic adenoma and later, on postoperative histopathological examination, diagnosed as Hodgkin's disease. The present report describes this case of Hodgkin's disease arising from an intraglandular lymph node in the parotid gland.
