Primary Hodgkin's disease of the nasopharynx: a rare but bona fide disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report an uncommon case of Hodgkin's disease confined to the nasopharynx. An isolated polypoid mass of the nasopharynx was observed in a 41-year-old man presenting with increasing bilateral nasal obstruction. Histological study revealed a mixed cellularity type of Hodgkin's disease. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed CD30 and LMP1 expression and a lack of reactivity to CD15, CD3 and CD20. Serological tests excluded recent infection with Epstein-Barr virus. HD of nasopharynx is rare, but has to be recognized as such in view of appropriate treatment.
