[Nodular Lymphocyte-Predominant Hodgkin Lymphoma(NLPHL)Which Originate from the Mesentery-A Series of Two Cases].

ABSTRACT

Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma(NLPHL)is a subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma. It is uncommon in Japan, and only a few cases of NLPHL originating from the mesentery have been reported. Most patients with NLPHL present in the early stage, but some patients have malignancy at initial presentation. We should perform staging laparotomy for the diagnosis and treatment of cases in which a lymph node biopsy is difficult.
