Metastatic nasopharyngeal carcinoma mimicking nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma

Granulomatous bone marrow involvement of Hodgkin lymphoma, nodular sclerosis type

Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma with classic Reed-Sternberg cells.

A 15-year-old young man presented to the emergency department with a 3-week history of sharp left-sided chest pain, shortness of breath on exertion, and a low-grade intermittent fever. Chest radiograph revealed increased density in the upper left lobe, thus he was treated with antibiotics for query pneumonia. Although his fever subsided, the patient continued to have chest pain, and subsequentl...

GWAS Analysis of Young Adult Nodular Sclerosis Hodgkin Lymphoma

Rationale General Background NSHL is the most common subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma in young adults, comprising between 60-80% of the disease in this age group; it occurs equally in males and females, peaks in incidence in the early 20’s, and is associated with higher socioeconomic status and low prevalence of Epstein-Barr virus in the tumors (1,2). Although commonly classified together with the m...

Hodgkin Lymphoma Mimicking Osteomyelitis

Hodgkin lymphoma with symptomatic osseous involvement can have a similar presentation to osteomyelitis. Common findings in symptoms, laboratory workup, and imaging can make it very difficult to distinguish between the two diseases. Excisional biopsy should be pursued if fine-needle biopsy is equivocal and suspicion of lymphoma is high. We report a case of a 40-year-old man who presented with a ...

Hematopathology / NODULAR LYMPHOCYTE PREDOMINANT HODGKIN LYMPHOMA

In our experience, certain commonly cited immunophenotypic features of nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) are not encountered in day-to-day practice. We reviewed 60 cases of NLPHL (18 women, 42 men; median age, 34 years) to discern immunophenotypic features from a large, single-institution cohort. All cases contained lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) cells. These cells expr...
