Hodgkin's disease and granulomatous uveitis.
A poorly understood association between Hodgkin's disease and noncaseating granulomas has been well documented in all stages of the lymphoma. Characteristically, the granulomas are found within liver, spleen, lymph nodes, and bone marrow. The following case report describes a 21-year-old woman with Stage 1-A nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease who had both multiple noncaseating granulomas in her spleen and an abdominal lymph node, as well as bilateral granulomatous uveitis.
