Also called Hodgkin disease and Hodgkin's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease is a malignant, but potentially curable, disease of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue.

Five variants are defined by the World Health Organization, grouped into two classes:[1]

  • Classical
    • nodular sclerosis
    • mixed cellularity
    • lymphocyte depleted
    • lymphocyte rich
  • nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin disease (NLPHD).

Classical and NLHPD are different clinical entities.[2]

In the classical variant, giant usually multinucleate Hodgkin's and Reed-Sternberg cells, the nodular lymphocyte predominant variant, lymphocytic and histiocytic cells are seen.
