Özet
Hodgkin's lymphoma (HQ comprises 20 to 30% of all lymphomas. Skin involvement is almost always secondary to visceral or nodal involvement. Secondary cutaneous HL is rare, occurring in only 0.5 to 3.4% of the cases. Herein we report two cases of skin involvement in Hodgkin's disease. One was a 25-year-old female admitted with a draining sinus]it the neck. The other was a 19-year-old female admitted with a neck mass and skin papules on her chest and arm. Skin involvement may antecede or can be seen during the course of HL. Better understanding of such cutaneous involvement, which occasionally may be the initial sign of HL, is needed, and a biopsy of any Suspicious skin lesion should be considered.
