This is a retrospective study of 85 patients with Hodgkin's disease undergoing studies of clinical staging. Of these, 28 were investigated by laparotomic splenectomy, which revealed evidence of disease progress not otherwise detectable in 10 cases (36%). The authors also note that cases with an unfavorable histotype are associated with a higher incidence of spleen involvement and a more advanced stage of disease.

Abstract
This is a retrospective study of 85 patients with Hodgkin's disease undergoing studies of clinical staging. Of these, 28 were investigated by laparotomic splenectomy, which revealed evidence of disease progress not otherwise detectable in 10 cases (36%). The authors also note that cases with an unfavorable histotype are associated with a higher incidence of spleen involvement and a more advanced stage of disease.
