Hodgkin's disease in sarcoidosis. A case report and a review of the literature.
A patient with Hodgkin's disease preceded by sarcoidosis is presented and the difficulties introduced by the lack of specificity for the sarcoid-like granulomas to differentiate between the dual pathology are discussed. A review of the literature disclosed 9 similar case reports. It is suggested that the finding of non-caseating epithelioid cell granulomas in relatively old patients with lymphadenopathy, systemic symptoms and absolute neutrophil leucocytosis could be warning signals of the appearance of Hodgkin's disease.
