History
Hodgkin lymphoma was first described in an 1832 report by Thomas Hodgkin, although Hodgkin noted that perhaps an earlier reference to the condition was provided by Marcello Malpighi in 1666. While occupied as museum curator at Guys Hospital, London, Hodgkin studied seven people with painless lymph node enlargement. Of the seven cases, two were under the care of Richard Bright, one was of Thomas Addison, and one was of Robert Carswell. Carswells report of the seventh case was accompanied by numerous illustrations that aided early descriptions of the disease.Hodgkins report on the seven cases, entitled "On some morbid appearances of the absorbent glands and spleen", was presented to the Medical and Chirurgical Society of London in January 1832 and was subsequently published in the societys journal, Medical-Chirurgical Society Transactions. Hodgkins paper went largely unnoticed, however, even though Bright highlighted it in an 1838 publication.
