title: [Lymphoid depletion type 4 Hodgkin disease. Anatomoclinical review of 35 cases].
abstract: The pathological material of 35 patients with Hodgkin's disease lymphocyte-depletion type (type 4) is reviewed with an immunohistochemistry study on paraffin-embedded sections. The new pathologic data are compared with clinical features. These 35 patients are 4.7% of 742 previously untreated patients managed in this institution from 1960 to 1991. The diagnosis of 31 of the 35 patients was rectified, 17 to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (12 unclassifiable and five anaplastic Ki-1 positive) and 14 to another type of Hodgkin's disease (six nodular sclerosis and eight mixed cellularity). In four cases, the pathologic material was neither sufficient nor satisfactory to allow a clear-cut distinction between Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The analysis of clinical data before and after pathological revision did not show any difference in clinical features, either between Hodgkin's disease "type 4" and other types (1, 2 or 3) or between cases with Hodgkin's disease and those with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. There is, however, a significant male predominance for Hodgkin's disease versus non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (P = 0.029, exact Fisher test), and B symptoms in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (P = 0.056), whereas B symptoms are commonly seen in advanced stages of Hodgkin's disease. It is emphasized that all Hodgkin's disease of lymphocyte-depletion type should be reviewed and discussed before any treatment, and this diagnosis actually means non-Hodgkin's lymphoma or other types of Hodgkin's disease.
