title: [Lymphogranulomatosis in childhood].
abstract: Hodgkin's disease is relatively rare in children. The lymph node biopsies of 66 children with Hodgkin's disease were reclassified and discussed in relation to age and sex. The youngest patient was a 2-year-old boy. Mixed cellularity was the most common histologic type (37.9%-25 cases) showing a slight preponderance of boys (14 cases). Nodular sclerosis comprised 31.8% (21 cases) and the lymphocyte predominant type was found in 19.7% (13 cases) in contrast to the low incidence of the lymphocyte depletion type (6.1%-4 cases). At the age of 2 to 10 years Hodgkin's disease prevailed in boys. Our results are discussed regarding the findings of the literature.
