Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- B-cell lymphomas include both Hodgkin's lymphoma and most Non-Hodgkins lymphomas. Historical landmarks of the discovery of Hodgkin's lymphoma include:[1]
- Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) was first discovered by Thomas Hodgkin, a British physician, in 1832. However, a prior description for HL was provided by Marcello Malpighi, an Italian physician, in 1666.
- In 1838, Richard Bright was the first to discover the association between spleen and HL.
- In 1865, Samuel Wilks honored Thomas Hodgkin by referring this disease as Hodgkin's lymphoma in his publication which he observed and described similar cases since 1856.
- Langhans and Greenfield first described the microscopic characteristics of HL in 1872 and 1878, respectively.
- In 1898 and 1902, Carl Sternberg and Dorothy Reed, respectively, made important contributions to the microscopy of HL. One of these contributions was describing Reed-Sternberg (R-S) cells, which are the hallmark tumor cells of HL.
- In 1944, Hodgkin’s lymphoma was classified by Jackson and Parker into three subtypes: paragranuloma, granuloma, and sarcoma.[2]
- In 1966, Lukes and Butler proposed a new classification based on the predominant histopathologic type of the disease into six groups: lymphocytic and/or histiocytic, nodular; lymphocytic and/or histiocytic, diffuse; nodular sclerosis; mixed; diffuse fibrosis, and reticular. They also strengthened this classification by suggesting that there was a 'definite relationship between the histological findings, clinical stages, and survival'. In 1966, at the Rye symposium, those 6 types modified into 4 types as lymphocytic predominance (includes both previous types of lymphocytic and/or histiocytic, nodular; lymphocytic and/or histiocytic, diffuse), nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, and lymphocytic depletion (includes both previous types of diffuse fibrosis and reticular).[1][2][3]
- In 1994, the Revised European-American Lymphoma Classification proposed a new classification system and classified Hodgkin’s lymphoma into two main types: nodular lymphocyte predominant Hodgkin’s lymphoma and classical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (includes lymphocyte predominant, nodular sclerosis, mixed cellularity, and lymphocyte depleted).[4]
- In 2002 and 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) classification provided a new subtype of classical Hodgkin lymphoma, lymphocyte-rich classical Hodgkin lymphoma, which replaced the previous type of lymphocytic predominance classical Hodgkin lymphoma. [5]
