Hodgkin's disease associated with IgA and IgG subclass deficiency.
Cases of cancer have been reported in patients with primary humoral immunodeficiency syndromes, mainly non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and gastric adenocarcinoma. Two cases of Hodgkin's disease complicating IgA and IgG subclass deficiency are reported. This association is probably more than mere coincidence. A review of the literature is presented.
