Hodgkin's disease, intracranial involvement. Report of a case and review of the literature.
Intracranial hodgkin's disease, an extremely uncommon finding, is reported in a 21-year-old man. This diagnosis, confirmed histologically, occurred in the presence of recurrent systemic disease, mixed cellularity type, which is typical for patients who have developed this complication. Review of the reported cases suggests there may be increasing incidence of intracranial involvement of Hodgkin's disease.
