Abstract
One hundred twentyβseven cases of nonβHodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease in children and young adults at the University of Wisconsin Hospital between 1969 and 1980 have been reviewed. Nodular sclerosing was the most frequent histologic type in patients with Hodgkin's disease. Malignant lymphoblastic lymphoma (MLLB) was the most common type of nonβHodgkin's lymphoma. The relationship of the histological pattern to age and sex as well as clinical behavior and survival are discussed.

This article describes four cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas occurring after successful treatment of Hodgkin's disease (HD). The clinical symptoms consisted of digestive disorders, and the histology confirmed an intestinal involvement in these four patients. In all cases patients had diffuse large c

Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas presenting exclusively in the liver are rather uncommon in adults and extremely rare in children. We describe a six-year-old white boy with jaundice, abdominal pain, and weight loss of two weeks duration. Physical examination disclosed asthenia, jaundice, abdominal swelling,
The etiology of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHL), including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), is likely to be related to immune function. In the light of the established immunologic effects of a pregnancy, we decided to examine the risk of NHL and CLL in relationship to full-term pregnancies. Within
