AB Hodgkin’s  lymphoma  (HL)  is  a  malignancy  of  mature  B  lymphocytes.  It  represents  ~10%  of  all  lymphomas  diagnosed  each  year.  The  majority  of  HL  diagnoses  are  classical  HL  (cHL),  but  there  is  a  second  subtype  of  HL,  nodular  lymphocyte  predominant  HL  (NLPHL).  While  this  diagnosis  does  resemble  cHL  morphologically  in  certain  respects,  there  is  some  evidence  that  it  is  more  related  to  the  indolent  B-cell  NHLs  biologically  than  it  is  to  cHL.  The  majority  of  this  chapter  will  be  specific  to  cHL,  with  a  discussion  of  NLPHL  at  the  end.
