Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hodgkin's lymphoma （HL） patients . Method　The clinical data of HL patients in our hospital from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The contents of investigation included gender, age, pathological type, first symptom, the incidence locations, clinical stages, extranodal involvement locations, ECOG and treatments．Results　A total of 143 cases of HL were included， the M/F ratio was 2.5:1 with a median age of 37 years （11~73years）. The most frequent subtypes of HL were mixed cellular （34.3%） and nodular sclerosis （28.0%）. The nodal lymphomas accounted for 97.2%， while the extranodal lymphomas occupied 2.1%. The nodal lymphomas with extranodal invasion accounted for 29.5%，and the common locations were spleen （14.4%），lung （5.8%）and bone （5.0%）. The most clinical stage of all patients was stage Ⅰ/Ⅱ（60.8%），The differences were no significant in gender, pathological type，first symptom，the incidence locations and the effective rate of the first-line treatment （P＞0.05），while were statistically significant in B symptoms，ECOG and treatments between Ⅰ/Ⅱgroups and Ⅲ/Ⅳ groups （P＜0.05）. Conclusions　In this group，the incidence of HL patients were mainly found in middle-aged people，males were lager than females. The pathological type，first symptom and the incidence locations had no obvious effect on clinical stage. The clinical stage had no obvious influence on the effective rate of the first-line treatment.
