If you have or suspect you may have a health problem, you should consult your health care provider. Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma. Lymphomas are cancers that develop in the lymph system, part of the body's immune system. The lymph system is made up of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels, into all parts of the body. Lymph vessels carry lymph, a colorless, watery fluid that contains white blood cells called lymphocytes. Along the network of vessels are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarm, pelvis, neck, and abdomen. The lymph nodes make and store infection-fighting cells. The spleen (an organ in the upper abdomen that makes lymphocytes and filters old blood cells from the blood), the thymus (a small organ beneath the breastbone), and the tonsils (an organ in the throat) are also part of the lymph system. Because there is lymph tissue in many parts of the body, Hodgkin's disease can start in almost any part of the body. The cancer can spread to almost any organ or tissue in the body, including the liver, bone marrow (the spongy tissue inside the large bones of the body that makes blood cells), and spleen.

The lymphatic system helps the body fight diseases and infections. The lymphatic system includes a network of thin tubes that branch, like blood vessels, into the tissues throughout the body. Lymphatic vessels carry lymph, a colorless, watery fluid that contains infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. Along this network of vessels are groups of small, bean-shaped organs called lymph nodes that filter the lymph as it passes through the nodes. Clusters of lymph nodes are found in the underarm, groin, neck, and abdomen. Other parts of the lymphatic system are the spleen, thymus, tonsils, and bone marrow. Like all types of cancer, Hodgkin's disease affects the body's cells. Healthy cells grow, divide, and replace themselves in an orderly manner. This process keeps the body in good repair. In Hodgkin's disease, cells in the lymphatic system grow abnormally and can spread to other organs. As the disease progresses, the body is less able to fight infection.

Extractions: Cancers arising from the lymph nodes or other sites of lymphoid tissue are broadly termed lymphomas . In both conditions, there is a replacement of normal lymphatic tissue by collections of abnormal lymphoma cells. The lymphatic system is a complex network of specialised cells and organs that defend the body against infection. Lymphatic organs include the bone marrow, spleen, thymus gland, lymph nodes, tonsils, adenoids, appendix and clumps of tissue in the small bowel. A function of the lymphatic system is to nurture and mature the B and T-lymphocytes (white blood cells vital to immune function). Cancerous changes can take place when mutation leads to failure of maturation of the lymphoid cells. Lymphomas are therefore regarded as cancers of lymphocytes. The process by which lymphoma occurs consists of a series of events where normal lymphocyte cells cease to mature and develop in an orderly fashion. The genetic make-up of the lymphocyte is altered, resulting in the formation of altered lymph tissue (tumours), or, altered lymphocyte secretions. Typically, patients present with a painless swelling of lymph nodes, with or without fever, night sweats and weight loss. Reed-Sternberg cells .

Other characters Hodgkin's disease, (HD), (Thomas Hodgkin, 17981866, English physician), is separated from the more common and more frequently fatal non Hodgkins lymphoma , by the presence of a distinctive histological feature, the Sternberg Reed giant cell, a large reticulum cell with a tendency to form large, densely staining nuclei. Hodgkin's disease is classified into four subtypes in the Reye classification : Lymphocyte predominance (less than 5%) is characterized by the most favourable prognosis and an early stage disease presentation. Nodular sclerosis, the most common type (less than 75%) is associated with abundant fibrous tissue stroma. It is characterized by a less favourable prognosis than the lymphocyte predominant type. The mediastinum is usually involved. Mixed cellularity, the second most frequent type involves older patients and is characterized by a less favourable prognosis than the nodular sclerosis type. At presentation the stage of the disease is usually more advanced than nodular sclerosis. Lymphocytic depression, uncommon (less than 5%), is a variety with the worst prognosis. It involves older patients presenting commonly systemic symptoms and advanced disease.

Other characters Hodgkin's disease, (Thomas Hodgkin 1798-1866, British physician), malignant lymphoma . Twenty per cent of children with lymphoma have the Hodgkin type. There may be an association with the Epstein Barr virus infection. The histological diagnosis on biopsy is based on the finding of the Reed Sternberg cell. Hodgkin's disease is rare under 5 years of age, the incidence peaking at about 25 years. The most common presentation (80%) is painless cervical lymphadenopathy. Lymphadenopathy at other sites is an occasional presentation. There may be multiple nonspecific signs such as fever, night sweats, malaise and weight loss. The definitive diagnosis is made by biopsy, and thereafter by staging and by imaging. Hodgkin's disease is classified as follows: Stage 1 involves one lymph node region. Stage II involves two or more node regions on the same side of the diaphragm, with or without localized disease in one extralymphatic organ. Stage III involves lymph nodes on both sides of the diaphragm, with or without splenic involvement and with or without localized disease in another organ.
