Oncol Clin Pract 2019;15(4):231-236.
Abstract
Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) is a neoplastic disease of the lymphoid tissue. It is characterised by the presence of B lymphocyte-derived monoclonal Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin cells, which tend to create a massive inflammation reaction in lymph nodes. Lymphadenopathy is common. The prognosis depends on the clinical stage according to Ann Arbor (Cotswold’s modification) classification and unfavourable prognostic factors. The ABVD chemotherapy regimen is the gold standard of treatment for patients with HL. This case report presents a patient diagnosed and treated for neck presentation of Hodgkin’s lymphoma intricate sepsis and coxarthritis because of Staphylococcus aureus infection. The treatment was arthrotomy. After the patient’s recovery chemotherapy was continued and complete remission was achieved.
