Hodgkin's disease involving the large bowel.
Hodgkin's disease (HD) is a malignancy that rarely affects the gastrointestinal tract. We describe a patient with disseminated, relapsed HD, in whom HD was found in a colorectal polyp. We also review the literature regarding HD involving the colon. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of colonic HD presenting as a polyp.
