Abstract
Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (CHL) was first described in 1832 by Thomas Hodgkin, and is characterized by a small number of Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in a rich inflammatory background. However, even in this modern era, due to the histological and biological overlap with CHL and other B-cell malignancies, including mediastinal grey zone lymphoma and other lymphomas accompanied by "Hodgkinoid cells", their discrimination is challenging and sometimes impossible. The complexity and ambiguity of the boundaries of CHL and its related diseases make the definition of CHL unresolved. Our group has studied the significance of PD-L1 expression and infection of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the diagnosis of CHL, emphasizing their pathological role, clinical significance, and high reproducibility even in daily clinical practice. In this review, we summarize the diagnostic strategy of CHL and its histological lookalikes based on neoplastic PD-L1 expression and infection of EBV, and attempt a reappraisal of the definition of CHL.
