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

โฆ Synopsis
This review presents and discusses the immunogenotypic findings in 1 12 cases of Hodgkin's disease (HD) and eight Hodgkin's cell lines. Clonal rearrangements of the T cell receptor y andachain, as well as immunoglobulin heavy and light chain genes, are detected in the majority of nodular sclerosis and lymphocytic depletion subtypes. Together with the recent immunophenotypic data, these findings are in favour of the view that HD is a disease of activated lymphoid cells.. Further investigations will be necessary to characterize the morphology and immunophenotype of the clonally rearranged cell population which seems not to be confined to the Sternberg-Reed and Hodgkin cell in every case. Prospective clinical studies including the genotype of HD cases have to be done in order to address the question of whether or not distinctive immunogenotypic profiles correlate with the clinical course of this lymphoproliferative disorder.

## Abstract From 1921 to 1973, 106 children with Hodgkin's disease under the age of 17 years were seen at Roswell Park Memorial Institute and were analyzed retrospectively. Evaluation was separated into three eras: 1921โ1949 (early era), 1950โ1964 (middle era), and 1965โ1973 (recent era). In the ea
