Abstract

On examination, he had features of peripheral neuropathy, but other systemic examinations were unremarkable. He did not have any significant lymphadenopathy or hepatosplenomegaly.He was diagnosed as a case of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, lymphocyte predominance, after diagnostic laparotomy followed by excisional biopsy from intraabdominal lymph node.Subdiaphramatic Hodgkin's lymphoma is rarely occurs and may present in several ways. Peripheral neuropathy is one of these. We treated him with Doxorubicin, Bleomycin, Vinblastin and Dacarbazine with successful outcome.
