Abstract
Hodgkin’s lymphoma in young children is very rare. We report a case of a child of age five years who is presented with swelling over the neck with a duration of 8-month weight loss and slightly pallor. The lymph node biopsy showed Hodgkin’s lymphoma of mixed cellularity type. Immunohistochemistry was done and showed positive markers. Bone marrow was obtained and was negative. The child was referred immediately to Rashtrasant Tukdoji Regional Cancer Centre for further management and given chemotherapy. His swelling was reduced by 85%, and the child is symptomatically better without any complications.
