✦ Synopsis

The association between renal transplantation and malignancy, particularly histiocytic lymphoma, is well known. Hodgkin's disease also occurs in renal transplant recipients. We report such a case and also review three other reports in the literatures. The Hodgkin's disease was insensitive to conventional MOPP chemotherapy in two of two, and was sensitive to combined MOPP-Bleomycin in one patient. The disease was rapidly fatal in three of four cases.
