Secondary skin involvement in classic Hodgkin lymphoma: Results of an international collaborative cutaneous lymphoma working group study of 25 patients
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cutaneous involvement by classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) is an extraordinarily rare phenomenon in the current era. To date, no single large case series of cutaneous involvement by Hodgkin lymphoma has ever been reported in the literature. METHODS: A comprehensive search for cases designated "skin" and "Hodgkin" was performed at different institutions between 1990 and 2020. Twenty-five cases were identified, and each case was independently reviewed by at least three board-certified dermatopathologists and/or hematopathologists. RESULTS: All cases represented examples of systemic CHL with secondary skin dissemination. A single lesion, usually a tumor, nodule or infiltrative plaque was observed in 56% of cases and multiple lesions were present in 28% of cases. Most patients (86%-12/14) had a diagnosis of stage IV disease at first diagnosis. The interval between the clinical (first) diagnosis of HL and the development of skin lesions ranged between 6 and 108 months (average 33.75 months). Comprehensive histopathologic evaluation of these cases (at the initial diagnosis) revealed a diagnosis of classic HL not otherwise specified (NOS) in 60% of cases (15/25), nodular sclerosis type in 24% (6/25), mixed cellularity in 12% (3/25), and lymphocyte depleted in 4% (1/25). CONCLUSIONS: We provide documentation of a large series of CHL with secondary skin involvement in association with CHL with additional clinical, morphologic, and immunophenotypic features.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
