Abstract

A combined group of doctors working in different hospitals speculated that Hodgkin’s disease is initiated by two events in fetal life. On the whole, pregnancy related factors, such as intra-uterine infection and factors associated with preterm labor, may be involved in lymphoma pathogenesis. Therefore, a Nigerian case is deemed to be reportable because the lesions, which appeared at birth, continued till the age of 1 year when the diagnosis was confirmed following surgical biopsy.
