  • Title: [Coincidence of Hodgkin's disease and epithelioid-cell granulomatosis in liver and spleen].
    Author: Stolzenbach G, Garbrecht M, Mertelsmann R, Kastendieck H.
    Journal: Dtsch Med Wochenschr; 1976 Apr 30; 101(18):709-11. PubMed ID: 1261403.
    Abstract:
    Two of seventy patients with Hodgkin's disease who had exploratory laparotomy with liver biopsy and splenectomy were found to have extensive epithelioid-cell granulomas in liver and spleen. The coincidence of malignant tumour and epithelioid-cell granulomas of liver and spleen without lymph-node involvement is unusual. Knowing of the coincidence of Hodgkin's disease and such granulomas is clinically important because extensive diagnostic measures, including biopsy, are necessary in the differential diagnosis, and the patient's prognosis will depend on the therapeutic measures taken.
