Hodgkin's disease: mas dumadapo sa kalalakihan kaysa kababaihan

WHAT'S UP DOC? - Dr. Tranquilino Elicaño Jr. -
KARANIWANG dumadapo sa mga kalalakihan ang Hodgkin’s disease kaysa sa kababaihan. Ang mga kabataang nasa edad 20 hanggang 30 ang dinadapuan at ganoon din naman ang mga nasa 60 at 70. Sa mga bata, karaniwang tinatamaan ang mga batang lalaking nasa edad 10 pababa. Typically, the patient is aware of painless enlarged node in the neck. This may be present for many weeks or months but may be develop more rapidly.

Ang sintomas ng Hodgkin’s disease ay mataas na lagnat, pagbaba ng timbang at ang pagpapawis sa gabi. Iba pang sintomas ay ang pangangati, pananakit ng likod at abdominal pain (karaniwan ay sa kaliwang bahagi).

Ang paglaki ng lymph nodes ay maaaring matagpuan sa alinmang bahagi ng katawan subalit pinaka-karaniwan ito sa leeg. Typically the nodes of Hodgkin’s disease are desribed as firm and rubbery as opposed to the hard craggy nodes of carcinoma. There may be palpable hepatosplenomegaly or an abdominal mass due to paraaortic or mesenteric nodes. Inguinal and pelvic lymphadenopathy may be asscoited with edema of the lower limbs atlhoug arm edema is an unusual complication of axillary lymphedenopathy. Mediastinal lymphadenopathy may present with the signs of superior vena cava obstruction.
