[Scleronodular type of Hodgkin's disease: experience at the Sherbrooke University Hospital Center].

Scleronodular type of Hodgkin's disease: experience at the Centre hospitalier universitaire de SherbrookeThe nodular sclerosis type of Hodgkin's disease appears to be a distinct clinical entity. However, the incidence, the initial localization of the tumour and the survival of the patients are variable. The present study was carried out on a group of 17 patients, all French Canadians living in the province of Quebec, from a total of 31 with Hodgkin's disease, an incidence of 55%. There were more males (10) than females (7). The mean age of the group was 37 years, but that of the females was lower than that of the males. The mediastinum was involved at the onset in 47% of the patients. The initial staging (according to the classification of Rye) in 76% of the patients was I or II.Four patients showed disease below the diaphragm. The lungs were infiltrated three times, the spleen six times, and the liver five times. The duration of survival of the 17 patients was twice that of the patients with the three other types of the disease.

[8;21 translocation and leukemia].

The authors report their observations on acute myeloid leukemias associated with the 8;21 translocation. Two cases have less than the required percentage of blasts for the cytological diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia. In one case, the 8;21 translocation is superimposed on a constitutional trisomy 21. Conclusions from the 4th International Workshop on chromosomes in leukemia are highlighted, as well as certain new data relative to the biology of acute myeloid leukemias.
