An analysis of 128 cases of Hodgkin disease seen at the Department of Pathology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, during the period 1968--1974 is presented with reference to histopathological and clinical findings. A male preponderance is noted in all age groups, and this is most noticeable in children under 15 years of age. There is a predominance of cases with the histologic subtypes associated with a poor prognosis (mixed cellularity and lymphocyte depleted). Only nine cases of nodular sclerosis type were seen.
