Clinical Information
A nodular sclerosis hodgkin lymphoma characterized by the presence of lacunar cells, nodular growth, and the absence of fibrosis
A subtype of classical hodgkin lymphoma characterized by collagen bands surrounding lymphoid nodules. The lymphoid nodules contain lacunar and reed-sternberg cells. Mediastinal involvement occurs in 80% of patients. The prognosis of nodular sclerosis hodgkin lymphoma is slightly better than that of mixed cellularity or lymphocyte depleted subtype. (who, 2001)
