Inconspi cuous n uclei
Background of Small Lymphocytes (Lymphocyte predominant)
Classic Reed-Sternberg cells (rare & difficult to find)
May be Diffuse or Nodular
Limited disease in Neck of Young Patients
Reed-Sternberg cell Variants Associated with
Lacunar L&H (Lymphocytic & Histiocytic) cell (p opcorn cell) variant Reed-Sternberg cell
Popcorn/ L&H
Mononuclear Mixed Cellularity
Mummified Men (70%) with Late Stage (III-IV) Disease & B-symptoms
Systemic Manifestations (frequently)
Epidemiology Numerous Reed-Sternberg cells
Commonly Young Adults (but can present at any age) Mixed Inflammatory Background (obliterate normal architecture)
Incidence with respect to age bimodal Plasma cells (frequent)
1st peak – Late Adolescence, Young Adulthood Eosinophils (freq uent)
2nd peak – 6th Decade Fibrosis, Necrosis (small amount present)
Bimodal Curve shifts to Younger Ages in Undeveloped countries Mixture of Lymphocytes, Eosinop hils, Histiocytes, ↑ Reed-Sternberg cells
