    Abstract:
    A 26 year old woman with systemic symptoms typical for Hodgkin's disease was admitted to The Oncology Clinic of the Medical Academy in Cracow in may 1988. Markedly elevated values of hepatic enzymes were observed. Infectious and autoimmune diseases were excluded. Although the diagnosis was not confirmed by histopathologic examination, MOPP chemotherapy was administered "exiuvantibus". Complete remission was obtained for two years. In 1991, when the patient relapsed for the second time, FNA biopsy of a hypogenic focus in the liver revealed Hodgkin's disease. In the sixth year of observation an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node appeared. Histopathologic examination of the node confirmed Lymphogranulomatosis-typus mixtus. The patient completed treatment in 1993 and since then she remains disease-free, with the overall observation period of 8 years.
