Abstract

Hodgkin disease intracranial lesions are uncommon. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with an intracranial relapse without other evidence of disease 24 months after multiple drug therapy and extended field radiation therapy for stage III Bb type 3 Hodgkin disease. The patient was treated by whole brain irradiation (40 Gy/20 fractions/4 weeks). Six months after completion of therapy, the patient had a second relapse, with bilateral inguinal metastatic nodes, which were treated by a second line polychemotherapy. The patient was free of disease 9 months later.
