Abstract
Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) was first described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Carl Sternberg and Dorothy Reed reported on the typical multinuclear giant cells and their relationship to the mononuclear Hodgkin cell. For more than a century, this disease was regarded as a chronic inflammatory disorder, which is reflected by the old term lymphogranulomatosis. However, because aneuploidy and monoclonality were detected in the cells, Hodgkin’s disease, or in terms of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of malignant lymphomas, HL, today is considered a malignant tumor.
