Definition

Nodular sclerosing Hodgkin lymphoma (NSHL) is a subtype of Hodgkin lymphoma, a cancer of the lymphatic system. It is characterized by the presence of large, abnormal cells called Reed-Sternberg cells in the affected lymph nodes, along with bands of fibrous tissue that divide the lymph node into nodules.
