PET/CT was not performed prior to surgery but the localized nature of the lesion was confirmed by the negative post-surgery PET/CT after the complete resection of the lesion, which had been transformed to anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALK-negative). It is important to note that there were no other patients within the two cohorts of pediatric and adult cHL patients with 9 and 410 relapsed/refractory cases respectively, in whom a surgery-only approach was applied and failed. At least 70-80% of the patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) can be cured with first-line therapy with the improvement of staging methods and the introduction of increasingly effective chemotherapy regimens during the last 50 years [[1]].
