Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma.

Lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (LPHL) was first described in 1944 by Jackson and Parker as nodular paragranuloma [1]. Other synonyms used were lymphocytic predominant Hodgkin disease, lymphocytic and histiocytic (L&H) predominant Hodgkindisease, nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin disease, and nodular LPHL [2–5]. This term has become the one that is currently being used. LPHL represents 5% of all HL cases and is a rare disease with an estimated incidence of 1.5 per million [6]. LPHL differs from classical Hodgkin lymphoma in pathological and clinical characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
