Clinical and cytopathological characteristics of HTLV ‐1+ hodgkin lymphoma

ConclusionsHTLV ‐1+ HL showed typical small lymphoid cells with a low MIB1 labeling index in a background of Hodgkin and RS cells, with some scattered CD25+ and CCR4+ lymphocytes. In HTLV ‐1 endemic areas, distinguishing HTLV‐1+ HL from HL ‐like ATLL is important because of their differing treatment strategies and prognoses.
