A 46-year-old female was admitted to our hospital for fever and weight loss in September, 1986. Physical examinations were unremarkable. CBC revealed moderate anemia and leukopenia with abnormal lymphocytes. Examination of the bone marrow (BM) disclosed peroxidase negative blasts and multinucleated or multilobulated giant cells positive for CD30 (Ki-1) antigen. Chest X-ray was negative. CT scan and echography of the abdomen showed minimal enlargement of retroperitoneal lymph nodes (LN). Lymphangiography revealed mild enlargement of the LN without filling defects. Gallium scan was negative. Hence a diagnosis of Hodgkin's disease (HD) stage IVB was made. She was treated with MOPP therapy with modification and obtained a complete remission.BM involvement of HD occurs mostly in advanced stages. We assumed that this is a rare case of HD in which bone marrow metastasis occurred in a very early stage of the disease or that of bone marrow primary.
