An Index Case of Cutaneous Hodgkin Lymphoma and Review of the Literature

Abstract: Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), although a common hematopoietic malignancy, presents as a primary cutaneous form in extraordinarily rare instances. In this study, we present a remarkable case of a 76-year-old woman with a history of bony metastatic breast cancer who developed multiple subcutaneous nodules on the left neck and scalp. A biopsy revealed the histological and immunohistochemical findings of classic HL. She was treated with systemic chemotherapy and quickly achieved disease remission. Five months later, she … Show more

Ocurre en los estadios avanzados de la enfermedad y es un signo de mal pronóstico (10) , como en el caso descrito.…”

“…Las células neoplásicas de Reed-Stenberg y Hodgkin en el LH clásico son siempre CD30+, CD45-, usualmente CD15+, PAX-5+ débil, en comparación con la población B reactiva y generalmente negativas para otros marcadores B como CD20 o BOB-1. Los linfocitos acompañantes no tumorales son de linaje B y T (9,10,13) . El VEB puede ser detectado en las células neoplásicas por hibridización in situ (EBER-1) o por inmunohistoquímica para el marcador LMP-1 (proteína latente de membrana) en un grupo de casos; se debe tener presente que esto no es exclusivo de los LH, sino que también puede encontrarse en linfomas no Hodgkin y trastornos linfoproliferativos de células B (10,11,13) .…”
