Abstract
A 33-year-old homosexual man presented with complaints of rectal discharge and tenesmus. There was no evidence of organomegaly or lymphadenopathy. Biopsy of a rectal mass revealed Hodgkin's disease. The literature of rectal Hodgkin's disease is reviewed, and the possible relationship of this unusual case to the recent outbreak of other unusual malignancies in homosexual males is discussed.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
