Note 30 — Chapter XXX · INJURIES AND DISEASES OF THE LYMPH VESSELS AND NODES.

Pathologists have long suspected that Hodgkin’s disease and sarcoma have, at least, certain features in common if they are not more or less actually associated in character. Yamasaki has recently reported several cases of typical Hodgkin’s disease without any suspicion of tuberculosis, in which there were unmistakable sarcomatous formations in various parts of the body, especially in the viscera, and he believes, as do others, that the affection which begins as Hodgkin’s disease may later assume the characteristics of a general sarcomatosis.
