“…The frequency of benign lymphadenopathy in children is thought to be responsible for an often long diagnostic delay, varying from 6 to 12 months [7]. In the series by Khanfir A et al [2], the average delay is 4.5 months and 43% of patients consulted within three months of the onset of the first symptoms. In our case, this period was 24 months, this could be explained by the practice of the population in rural areas who prefer to consult traditional practitioners before doctors, which will delay the diagnosis.…”

“…The pediatric form is even rarer with an annual incidence of three to six cases per million children under the age of 15. In developing countries, childhood HL is much more common, accounting for more than 10% of all pediatric cancers [2]. We report a case of HL in a child while specifying the value of cytological and histological examinations in the diagnostic support.…”

Hodgkin disease is a malignant pathology of lymphatic system. It’s rare in children and less common than non Hodgkin lymphoma. We report a case of Hodgkin lymphoma which has highlighted the value of cytological and histological examination in diagnosis. It was a 7 years-old boy with a painless cervical mass that had progressed for 2 years without treatment and increased in volume. The cervical ultrasound suspected a benign cystic mass, while the CT scan showed a tissue nodule, highly vascularized. Fine needle aspiration of this nodule was made. The cytological examination showed an inflammatory granuloma with rare atypical, binucleated cells suspect of Hodgkin lymphoma which was confirmed by histology. In developing countries, cytology is an easier and cheaper test to perform with a quick result which helps to orient the diagnosis towards Hodgkin lymphoma? However, it is necessary to make a histological diagnostic confirmation.
