Abstract
The simultaneous appearance of Hodgkin's disease and a non Hodgkin's l ymphoma is very infrequent and has classically been considered as coin cidental. Nevertheless, recent clinical observations suggest that neop lastic cells which lead to Hodgkin's disease are of lymphoid origin. T he case of a <<discordant>> lymphoma formed by a laterocervical Hodgki n's disease and a large cell gastric lymphoma is presented. The coexis tence of these two diseases, as herein presented, supports the lymphoi d origin of Hodgkin's disease.
