Hodgkin's disease and intercurrent processes that may simulate a relapse.
Hodgkin's disease (HD) is an example of a curable disease. In addition, it can serve as a lesson about other pathologies because of the delayed side effects it produces and the appearance of associated processes that may simulate disease progression. Here we provide a case report of a patient who encapsulates a compendium of situations that may occur in HD.
