Popcorn cells are seen in:
Correct Answer: Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Description: Hodgkin lymphoma is currently classified in the following manner:
Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma.
Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (comprising five histopathologic subtypes):
Lymphocyte rich
Nodular sclerosis
Mixed cellularity
Lymphocyte depletion
Unclassifiable
These names describe the most prominent histopathologic feature of each type, and specific epidemiologic and prognostic characteristics are associated with each type. Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma constitutes 4% to 5% of all cases of Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States. In the past, this form was probably combined with the lymphocyte-rich subtype, but the presence of the characteristic popcorn cells is a significant clue to the diagnosis.
