Abstract:
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma, characterized by the presence of abnormal Reed-Sternberg cells. It typically affects lymph nodes, generally in the upper body (such as neck, chest, and armpits). It can also involve the spleen, liver, and bone marrow. In the literature, there are sporadic cases of atypical localization of HL. The aim of this article is to report a peculiar case of HL in a 55-year-old male presenting with primary epitrochlear lymphadenopathy as the only localization of disease, also performing a literature review on this atypical presentation. We also summarized the possible underlying malignant pathologies that arise from the soft tissues of the upper limb adjacent to the elbow.

The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...

01:23Detailed Structure and Function of Lymph Nodes
From a histological perspective, lymph nodes can be split into two main areas: the superficial cortex and the deep medulla. The outer cortex is populated by dendritic cells, macrophages, and B lymphocytes, which are densely packed into follicles. When these B-lymphocytes are presented...
