Two male siblings (ages 12 and 16 years) presenting with Hodgkin's disease are reported. They were both diagnosed as stage IVB with identical histological type--lymphocyte depleted. The presence of identical sex, shared environment and the closeness of the time of onset suggested a combination of both environmental and genetic factors in the aetiology of the disease in these siblings.
报告了两名患有霍奇金病的男性同胞(年龄分别为12岁和16岁)。他们均被诊断为IVB期,组织学类型相同——淋巴细胞消减型。相同的性别、共同的环境以及发病时间的接近,提示在这些同胞中,环境因素和遗传因素共同作用导致了该病的发生。
