There is marked differences in size of germinal centers, their well-circumscribed character,
and the fact that they are surrounded by a well-defined mantle of lymphocytes

Lymphoma
●
Clonal malignant disorders that
are derived from lymphoid cells:
either precursor or mature T-
cell or B-cell
●
Majority are of B- cell origin

Divided into 2 main types :
1.
Hodgkin’s lymphoma
2.

Gross features
lymph nodes involved by Hodgkin's lymphoma are enlarged, sometimes massively so .
The gross appearance depends on the microscopic subtypes the consistency varies from soft
to hard depending on the amount of fibrosis . Some degree of nodularity is often appreciated,
particularly in the nodular sclerosis Foci of necrosis may be present the cut surface of the
node has a more heterogeneous appearance than most non-Hodgkin's lymphoma .
in
advanced cases, several nodes from the same group become matted together
Reed-Sternberg cell
The classic Reed-Sternberg cell, as seen in all
subtypes of
classical Hodgkin's lymphoma, but not in NLPHL,

most important immunocytochemical profile of the Reed-
Sternberg cell is
• .
CD15
(
Leu-Ml :)
This is expressed in over 80% of the cases ;the pattern may be
paranuclear (corresponding to the Golgi region), diffuse cytoplasmic, and/or
corresponding to the cell membrane .
• .
CD30 (Ki-1) :
As recqgnized by the monoclonal antibody Be-Hz ,this is found in
approximately 90% of the cases . ,
• .CD45 (1CA) :This is expressed in less than 10% of the cases .
• .
CD40
(
a protein present in B cells and nerve growth factor receptor): This is expressed
in approximately 70% .
• .
CD74
:
This is e~pressed i ~over 75% .
Hodgkin's Histologic subtypes
•
Are characteristic patterns of involvement, and characteristic variants of Reed
Sternberg cell associated with different subtypes
•
Nodular sclerosing HL
•
Most common type Hodgkin's lymphoma in US/Europe
•
Usually presents in the anterior mediastinum and neck of young adult females
•
Characterized by fibrotic capsule and bands subdividing tissue and
•
Lacunar variant Reed Sternberg cell

Histologic subtypes 2
•
Lymphocyte predominant
•
Usually presents with limited disease in the neck of young adults
•
Associated with L and H (lymphocytic and histiocytic) or
"
popcorn cell "variant RS
cell
•
Mixed cellularity
•
More extensive disease
•
Older patients than NS and LP
•
More R-S cells, eosinophils, plasma cells
•
Mononuclear variant R-S cells
•
Inherently more aggressive disease
•
Lymphocyte depleted
•
Often presents in retroperitoneum ,older patients
•
Accompanied by loss lymphocytes ,sclerosis and pleomorphic RS cell variants
•
Also more aggressive disease
General and clinical features
Hodgkin's lymphoma comprises approximatel 20% to30% of all malignant lymphomas in the
United Statesand Western Europe but a much lower percentage inJapan and other Oriental
countries .
with a peak at 15 to 40 years and a second, smaller peak in the seventh decade.

In poorly developed countries, there is a high incidence in children, a relatively low incidence
in the 15- to 40-year age group ,
•
The is a male predominent (approximately 1.5 to 1) in all microscopic types except
nodular sclerosis
• .
The disease may present in a variety of ways
•
the most common (approximately 90% of the cases) being painless enlargement of
superficial (usually cervical) lymph node
•
Fever, night sweats, and loss of weight
(
so-called
"
B symptoms "
)
occur in approximately
25% of the cases ;their presence influences the clinical staging
•
Pruritus is also frequent .
Patterns of spread
•
Hodgkin's lymphoma spreads contiguously
via lymphatics
•
Staging as in NHL- may or may not include
laparotomy/splenectomy
Prognosis
•
Hodgkin's lymphoma is a curable malignancy
•
Overall cure rate approximately 80%
•
With modern therapy, prognosis based more on staging, bulk of disease, than
morphologic subtype
