Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is an uncommon B cell lymphoid malignancy. There are two main types of HL—classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL). cHL accounts for 95% and NLPHL for 5% of all HL cases. This chapter will provide a summary of the epidemiology, clinico-pathological features, staging and prognostication of cHL. NLPHL is also discussed briefly.
