Intracranial Hodgkin's disease. A report of 12 cases and review of the literature

Abstract

Intracranial involvement by Hodgkin's disease is rare. Of the 30 previously reported cases, in many of which central nervous system (CNS) disease was documented postmortem, no associated risk factors have been elucidated, and response to treatment has been poor. This report cites 12 additional cases treated at the Stanford University Medical Center, five of whom have enjoyed prolonged freedom from intracranial relapse.
