Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma presenting with tongue involvement: a case report and review of the literature.
We report an unusual case of mixed cellularity classical Hodgkin's lymphoma with prominent involvement of the base of the tongue at diagnosis. In situ hybridization findings for Epstein-Barr virus were positive. Waldeyer's ring involvement by Hodgkin's lymphoma is uncommon with < 200 cases reported in the English literature and only 5 previous reports of Hodgkin's lymphoma involving the tongue.
