[Hodgkin's disease with muscular involvement. 2 cases (author's transl)].
The authors report on two cases of Hodgkin's disease with muscular involvement. This exceptional complication occurred during the terminal phase of a stage IV disease in one case and during remission of a stage III disease in the other case, where it responded to combined chemotherapy. Muscular lesions in Hodgkin's disease may be due to extension from adjacent tissues or from dissemination through the blood stream. They do not necessarily indicate a more severe prognosis.
