Intracranial Hodgkin's disease is very rare and is often a terminal event. The case of a 33-year-old man who relapsed in the anterior pituitary gland without other evidence of disease 6 months after extended field radiation therapy for Stage IIA Hodgkin's disease is presented. He remains well with n

Abstract
Effusion cells from six patients with advanced Hodgkin's disease were studied. Even though no Hodgkin or ReedβSternberg cells could be identified cytologically in five of the six cases, striking chromosome anomalies of a clonal nature, including a number of recurrent marker chromosomes, were demonstrated in all effusions. It is concluded that the effusion cells with abnormal karyotypes were intimately related to the pathogenesis of Hodgkin's disease.
