Abstract

Malignant lymphomas represent approximately 5% of all malignant neoplasms of the head and neck. They are divided into two subgroups, Hodgkin's lymphomas (HLs) and non-HL. This is a case report of a 23-year-old female, who presented with multiple nontender lumps on the right posterior triangle of the neck of 4 months duration. She was diagnosed with, “Classical Hodgkin's lymphoma” (mixed cellularity type) of the head and neck region, which is poorly reported and published in Sri Lankan literature. HL of head and neck region seems to involve a broader histo-morphologic spectrum than that generally recognized by the WHO and, therefore, needs to be considered to improve the Sri Lankan figures in literature.
