PY - 2017 T2 - Williams Manual of Hematology, 9e AB - The neoplasm of lymphoid tissue in most cases is derived from germinal center B cells, defined by the presence of the Reed-Sternberg cells or its mononuclear variant Hodgkin cells with a characteristic immunophenotype and appropriate cellular background.The Reed-Sternberg and Hodgkin cell, the neoplastic cells defining Hodgkin disease, are considered of B-cell origin based on their clonal immunoglobulin gene rearrangements.Classic Hodgkin disease accounts for 95% of cases and contains four histologic subtypes that are distinguished on the basis of microscopic appearance and relative proportions of Reed-Sternberg cells, lymphocytes, and fibrosis: nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, lymphocyte-depleted, or lymphocyte-rich Hodgkin disease. A fifth subtype, nodular lymphocyte predominance has been added to the four classic histologic types (Table 59–1).
