| Abstract: | Nodular lymphocyte‐predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) is a rare lymphoma (<5% of Hodgkin’s lymphomas) predominantly affecting the middle‐aged man, with an indolent behavior. Given the rare occurrence of this lymphoma, there are currently no clear guidelines for initial treatment or relapse. In this report, we present the follow‐up of 2 patients treated by radioimmunotherapy for first relapse of their NLPHL. Both patients were initially treated with rituximab and relapsed 1 year after the end of their treatment. |
