Brain Pathol. 2001 Jul;11(3):387-8; 393.

Abstract

The January Cases of the Month (COM): A case of intracranial metastatic nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease without dural attachment in a 37-year-old previously stage III male is presented with a brief review of the literature. Both the primary tumor in the lymph node biopsy and the metastatic brain tumor showed similar histopathology and a immunohistochemical profile typical for Hodgkin's Disease. After chemotherapy, there are no signs of recurrence or systemic disease on follow-up for five months.
