CD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases

CD30+ lymphoproliferative diseases are a group of conditions involving abnormal growth of lymphocytes, a type of immune cell, that express the CD30 protein on their surface. These diseases include certain types of lymphomas, such as Hodgkin lymphoma and some cutaneous (skin) lymphoid disorders. They are characterized by the presence of atypical lymphocytes that test positive for CD30, often indicating an immune response or malignancy. Treatment varies but may involve chemotherapy, targeted therapies, or radiation, depending on the specific disease and its severity. Accurate diagnosis and tailored management are essential for optimal outcomes.
