Zusammenfassung:A survey of lymphoreticular tumors was carried out in the 4 largest hospitals of São Paulo. These tumors were analyzed in more detail by the Hospital do Cancer. The high relative frequency of Hodgkin's disease especially in children was emphasized. Mediastinal localization of Hodgkin's disease was less frequent than in other hospital series. Extranodal lymphosarcomas, especially those arising in the gastrointestinal tract, were more frequent than expected.
