NCI: A monoclonal B-cell neoplasm characterized by a nodular, or a nodular and diffuse, polymorphous proliferation of scattered large neoplastic cells known as popcorn or L&H cells; the L&H cells are CD15 negative, and rarely positive for CD30 antigen. Patients are predominantly male, frequently in the 30-50 year age group. Most patients present with limited stage disease (localized peripheral lymphadenopathy, stage I or II); the prognosis of patients with stage I and stage II disease is very good. Advanced stages have an unfavorable prognosis.,NCI: A rare type of Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a cancer of the immune system. It is marked by the presence of a type of cell called a popcorn cell, which is different from the typical Reed-Sternberg cell found in classical Hodgkin lymphoma. This type of Hodgkin lymphoma may change into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
