Hodgkin's disease: histological classification and diagnosis

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

A review of the previous histological classifications of Hodgkin's disease seems to show that they are insufficiently accurate in regard to prognosis and difficult to apply but a detailed study of a large number of cases suggests that certain criteria allow of subdivision of the disease into types. These criteria are the proportion of mature lymphocytes, the presence of plentiful mature histiocytes, the presence of fibrous nodularity, and the numbers of abnormal reticulum cells and their degree of anaplasia.
