Cutaneous involvement in Hodgkin's disease

Viral-related RNA in Hodgkins' disease and other human lymphomas.

Molecular hybridization with radioactively labeled DNA complementary to the RNA of the Rauscher leukemia virus was used to probe for homologous RNA in human lymphomas. 22 of 32 specimens contained RNA possessing homology to the RNA of the mouse leukemia virus, but not to that of the unrelated viruses causing mammary tumors in mice or myeloblastosis in chickens. Normal adult and fetal tissues fa...

Current strategies in the treatment of childhood Hodgkins disease.

Dramatic changes in the treatment of childhood Hodgkins disease have taken place during the past three decades. Contemporary combined modality treatment regimens produce durable disease-free survival in 90 to 100%of patients with early disease and in 70 to 85%of patients with advanced disease. Studies using chemotherapy alone also report high survival rates, and current studies are few to highl...

Hodgkin's lymphoma with cutaneous involvement.

We report a case of a 22-year-old previously healthy woman with Hodgkin's lymphoma who presented initially with multiple lymphadenopathy and later, with a solitary cutaneous ulcer. Unlike Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma subtypes, skin involvement of Hodgkin's lymphoma is extremely rare. The prognosis of Hodgkin's lymphoma with skin infiltration is felt to be extremely poor. Contrary to other reports, th...
