Abstract
Hodgkin''s disease involving the skin is an unusual occurrence and often portends a poor prognosis. A case of Hodgkin''s disease and extensive skin infiltration with a favorable outcome is presented. A variety of therapeutic modalities, including a mixture of mechlorethamine hydrochloride, vincristine sulfate, prednisone and procarbazine; electron-beam radiation; topical mechlorethamine hydrochloride; and i.v. vinblastine sulfate were employed with moderate success.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
