[A case of Hodgkin's disease with primary splenic localization]

In this work a case of splenic Hodgkin's disease is reported. It was diagnosed only by a second exploratory laparotomy. There was no involvement of lymph nodes, other organs or systems. Hodgkin's disease was histologically associated with sarcoid-like granulomas and the significance of this association is discussed. In addition to splenectomy, this patient was treated with chemotherapy.
