Abstract
The WHO Classification for Hodgkin’s disease (HD) has made an important step by separating nodular lymphocyte predominant HD, NLPHD, from classical HD subtypes.1, 2 Although uncommon, approximately 5% of all HD, NLPHD is important because of its unique morphologic/immunophenotypic features, as well as its clinical characteristics and evolving recommendations for therapy.
