Abstract

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a kind of lymphatic malignancy distinguished by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. It often manifests as painless lymphadenopathy and systemic symptoms (B symptoms and can affect a variety of lymphoid tissues. The causes of HL are complicated and include genetic predisposition, environmental conditions and viral infections, particularly the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The diagnosis is primarily based on histological evaluation of lymph node samples, with immunophenotyping assisting classification. Herein, we report a case of classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) in an otherwise healthy 31-year-old male who had a mass per abdomen for a year and recently noticed a swelling in his left axilla. On ultrasound, abdominal lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly with multiple ill-defined hypoechoic lesions were identified. Lymph node biopsy revealed Erythroid hyperplasia with trilineage hematopoiesis, leading to a diagnosis of Hodgkins lymphoma.
