Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a lymphoid neoplasm in which malignant Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells are mixed with a heterogeneous population of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells such as lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils and histiocytes. LH typically presents as painless lymphadenopathy. The skin involvement can be nonspecific or specific; in the nonspecific forms the clinical manifestations are varied and there is no histological evidence of HL in the skin. The specific form is unusual, between 0.5% to 7.5% of cases, in which the skin is infiltrated by neoplastic cells, it is observed in patients in an advanced stage of the disease and represents a poor prognosis. Specific HL skin involvement may be primary or secondary to lymph node disease. We describe the case of an 83-year-old man with classic HL and specific cutaneous involvement, demonstrated by histopathology and confirmed by immunophenotyping.
