Results of bone marrow biopsy were retrospectively evaluated in 120 previously untreated patients with Hodgkin's disease. The incidence of bone marrow involvement was 13%. All patients with marrow invasion had B symptoms and/or clinically advanced disease. When patients with bone marrow involvement
