Abstract

1. Skeletal involvement in Hodkgin's disease is much more common than has been realized, and may be primary.

2. Bone changes vary from degeneration of the bone marrow to bone destruction and production.

3. Hodgkin's disease may simulate tuberculosis of the spine and bone tumors.

4. Deep x-ray therapy is of benefit in retarding the progress of the disease.
