Hodgkin lymphoma shows a bimodal age distribution with peaks around which ages?

• A. 5 and 15
• B. 10 and 30
• C. 25 and 35
• D. 20 and 50

Answer: (D)

Hodgkin lymphoma has a bimodal age distribution, meaning two distinct age groups have the highest incidence: a peak in young adulthood around the early 20s (roughly 20 years old) and a second peak in middle to older age around the 50s (around 50 years old). The option that lists about 20 and 50 best matches these two common peaks. The other choices place peaks at ages that are either too young or miss the well-established second peak in the 50s.
