Rare Occurrence of Classical Hodgkin's Disease as a T Cell Lymphoma

Abstract excerpt

Recent work identified Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg (H/RS) cells in classical Hodgkin's disease (cHD) as clonal progeny of mature B cells. Therefore, it is generally assumed that cHD homogenously represents a B cell lymphoma. In a subset of cHD, however, H/RS cells expressing T cell-associated proteins may be candidates for alternative lineage derivation. Single H/RS cells with cytotoxic T cell phenotype were...
