The presence of what assessment finding is considered diagnostic of the disease?
A) Schwann cells
B) Reed-Sternberg cells
C) Lewy bodies

Ans: B
Feedback:
The malignant cell of Hodgkin lymphoma is the Reed-Sternberg cell, a gigantic tumor cell that is morphologically unique and thought to be of immature lymphoid origin. It is the pathologic hallmark and essential diagnostic criterion. Schwann cells exist in the peripheral nervous system and Lewy bodies are markers of Parkinson disease. Loops of Henle exist in nephrons.
