D. Voicu, A. Uzunov, O. Munteanu, F. Păuleţ, M. Cîrstoiu

Rezumat: Hodgkin’s lymphoma represents an important health issue, because it has a peak incidence in adolescents, especially the nodular sclerosing subtype. Managing the Hodgkin’s lymphoma during pregnancy is a real challenge, mainly when it is diagnosed in an adolescent woman. The signs and symptoms can be easily confused with symptoms associated to pregnancy. Although the lymph node biopsy provides the certain diagnosis, all the other investigations must be performed. The treatment should be adjusted to each case.
