https://doi.org/10.53555/bp.v10i1.2381Abstract
Hodgkin disease is a rare tumor within the pediatric population, exhibiting a higher incidence in developing countries
such as Madagascar. The objective of this study was to elucidate the epidemiological and anatomopathological
characteristics of Hodgkin’s disease in the pediatric population of Madagascar.
A retrospective analysis was conducted,focusing on the description of Hodgkin’s lymphoma diagnosed in children aged
0 to 15 years over five year intervals, spanning from january to december 2018. The data were sourced from the
Pathological Anatomy and Cytology laboratories of the CHU-JRA and SALFA Andohalo.
Through out the study period, a total of 32 cases of Hodgkin’s lymphoma in children were identified, constituting
43.24% of the diagnosed lymphoma cases during this period. The age of the patients ranged from 3 to 15 years, with an
average age of 9.28 years. A notable male predominance was observed, with a sex ratio of 2.2. In all cases, the location
was cervical region. The histological subtype revealed a predominance of the sclero-nodular variant in 69% of cases.
Our findings indicate a relatively higher prevalence of Hodgkin’s deseasein our study compared to other developing
countries. It affected younger children in more than half cases, with a male predominance.
