A 47-year-old White woman presented with intractable pruritus. Systemic examination was completely negative. Radiological examination of the chest revealed a large mass which was removed surgically. Histologically, it had the features of nodular sclerosing Hodgkin's disease arising in the thymus. The pruritus paralleled the patient's disease activity and is an important skin marker of neoplasia.
一名47岁的白人女性因顽固性瘙痒就诊。全身检查结果完全为阴性。胸部放射学检查发现一个大肿块,遂进行了手术切除。组织学检查显示,其具有起源于胸腺的结节硬化型霍奇金淋巴瘤的特征。瘙痒与患者的疾病活动情况平行,是肿瘤形成的一个重要皮肤标志物。
