Only seventy cases of Hodgkin's disease were reported in Cameroon over a twelve-year period (1979-1989), which represents about six cases a year. Hodgkin's disease therefore seems to be rare in Cameroon where it will be useful to follow its epidemiological course. At the present time, 81.5% of patients are male and children aged 10 to 19 are mostly affected. Type I (lymphocytic predominance) is the more frequent, representing 40% of cases. Biopsy leading to the diagnosis is mainly performed on cervical lymph nodes (58% of cases).
在12年期间（1979 - 1989年），喀麦隆仅报告了70例霍奇金病病例，相当于每年约6例。因此，霍奇金病在喀麦隆似乎很罕见，追踪其流行病学病程将很有帮助。目前，81.5%的患者为男性，10至19岁的儿童受影响最为严重。I型（淋巴细胞为主型）最为常见，占病例的40%。导致诊断的活检主要在颈部淋巴结进行（占病例的58%）。
