Summary:The analysis is based on the catalogue of neoplasms notifiable in the German Democratic Republic (ICD-Code Nrs. 140-209, 210.2, 211.3, 211.9, 225, 226.2, 226.3, 253.0, 253.2, 702, 757.2). At the Medical Academy of Erfurt 22155 autopsies (12212 males, 9943 females) of adults (15 years and upwards) were registrated in the period from 1950 to 1966. 128 cases of Hodgkin's disease (0.6% of autopsies and 1.7% of malignant tumours) were observed among them. The cases are distributed among 80 males (0.7% of males) and 48 females (0.5% of females). There is no difference in frequency. Age and sex distribution, frequency and localization of lymph node and organ involvement are presented.
