[Histopathology of lymphogranulomatosis].

The current histological classification of lymphogranulomatosis is presented. The possibility of the occurrence of the cellular phase of nodular sclerosis is discussed. In contrast to the current opinion on the origin of Berezovsky-Sternberg giant cells from reticular cells, the evidence in favour of their lymphocytic genesis is presented. Some problems of therapeutic pathomorphosis and thanatogenesis of patients with lymphogranulomatosis when current methods of treatment (radiation and polychemotherapy) are used are considered.
