  • Title: Primary intracranial Hodgkin's disease. A case report and discussion.
    Author: Ashby MA, Barber PC, Holmes AE, Freer CE, Collins RD.
    Journal: Am J Surg Pathol; 1988 Apr; 12(4):294-9. PubMed ID: 3354756.
    Abstract:
    We report here a case in which a frontotemporal meningeal tumor was found to be an isolated, apparently primary, deposit of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease in an otherwise well man. The presentation of Hodgkin's disease as a primary, solitary intracranial lesion is rare; only 13 cases have been found in the world literature. The histological appearance of the tumor in the present case fulfills all the requirements for nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease according to current criteria of classification; the morphologic diagnosis is supported by appropriate immunohistochemical staining of the neoplastic cells for Leu M1 and LN2 markers, with absence of staining for the common leucocyte antigen. No recurrent local or disseminated disease has been manifest in a 14-month follow-up of the patient.
