Association Between Hidradenitis Suppurativa and Lymphoma

Abstract

The chronic inflammatory state in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) may result in development of clonal immune cell populations which give rise to malignant lymphomas. Our objective was to investigate prevalence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), Hodgkin lymphoma (HL), and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) among patients with HS.
