Abstract:
A 57-year-old female with Hodgkin's lymphoma, diagnosed by a cervical lymph node biopsy and surgically staged laparoscopically, is presented. Staging included a pelvic and para-aortic lymphadenectomy as well as splenectomy. Laparoscopic staging of Hodgkin's lymphoma has not been previously reported. The procedure, its limitations, and potential modifications are discussed.
