Abstract
Lymphocyte predominance Hodgkin’s disease differs from nodular sclerosis and mixed cellularity disease both clinically and histopathologically [47.1]. This chapter is concerned with the patterns of presentation, stage, median time to recurrence, pattern of late recurrences, the risk of secondary non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas, and the low mortality of this entity.
