title: Hodgkin lymphoma.
abstract: Hodgkin disease was first described more than 175 years ago. Clinically and histomorphologically, the features of Hodgkin lymphoma are unusual for a lymphoma or for other malignancies. The incidence of Hodgkin lymphoma is estimated to be 7400 new cases per year in the United States, resulting in an age-adjusted yearly rate of 2.7 per 100,000 per year. There have been numerous classifications of non-Hodgkin lymphoma over the years, but the organizational schemes of Hodgkin lymphoma have been stable. This article reviews the diagnosis of the various types of Hodgkin lymphoma classification, diagnosis and differential.
