Summary
Cases of lymphocyte predominance type Hodgkin's disease were investigated using immunohistochemical methods and compared for morphological subtype and clinical stage. Cases of nodular paragranuloma showed a high, diffuse paragranuloma a moderate, and the mixed type a low, content of B cells. There was no significant correlation between B cell content and clinical stage. The number of Leu7+ cells was significantly increased in stage I of nodular paragranuloma. Hodgkin cells did not react with the CD15 antibody in most cases of paragranuloma but showed reactivity in the mixed type.
