[Sarcoid-like lesions of the spleen in Hodgkin's disease (author's transl)].

In a systematic study of splenectomy preparations of 32 patients with Hodgkin's disease five cases of sarcoid-like lesions were detected. There was no lymphogranulompatosis of the spleen in two of these five cases. Frequency, localization, and pathogenesis of the sarcoid-like lesions are discussed. No statement is possible concerning the consequences of these granulomas as to clinical prognosis.
