This is a retrospective study of 163 patients with Hodgkin disease and 364 patients with other lymphomas who were admitted to one Cancer Hospital (1940–1971). All the histological slides were reviewed and reclassified by one pathologist. In patients who had multiple and sequential biopsies (16 with Hodgkin disease and 97 with non‐Hodgkin lymphomas), the histological subtypes remained the same in over 60% of the case. When changes did occur, the neoplasms progressed toward histologically more malignant forms.
