Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed during dental treatment: the importance of neck palpation.
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a malignant lymphoproliferative disease that originates from alterations in germinal center B cells. HL generally affects cervical and supraclavicular nodes, and the most common clinical presentation is adenopathy. It can be symptomatic and detected by the patient or asymptomatic and identified during a physical examination. This article reports the case of a 17-year-old girl who was diagnosed with HL during dental treatment, highlighting the importance of a complete physical examination in dental practice.
