| lymphoma, mixed-cell, diffuse | A heterogeneous group of intermediate-grade lymphomas of mixed cellular composition. Although they have not been extensively studied, it appears that they are predominantly B-cell diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| lymphoma, mixed-cell, follicular | A low-grade malignant lymphoma of follicular pattern in which there is no clear preponderance of one cell type (small or large) over another. The large cells, cleaved or noncleaved, are often 2-3 times larger in diameter than normal lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue | Extranodal lymphoma of lymphoid tissue associated with mucosa that is in contact with exogenous antigens. Many of the sites of these lymphomas, such as the stomach, salivary gland, and thyroid, are normally devoid of lymphoid tissue. They acquire malt tissue as a result of an immunologically mediated disorder. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, non-hodgkin | Any of a group of malignant tumours of lymphoid tissue that differ from hodgkin disease, being more heterogeneous with respect to malignant cell lineage, clinical course, prognosis, and therapy. The only common feature among these tumours is the absence of giant reed-sternberg cells, a characteristic of hodgkin's disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, small cleaved-cell, diffuse | An intermediate-grade malignant lymphoma in which the neoplastic cells (B-lymphocytes) exhibit variability in size, configuration, and degree of differentiation. The cells have distinctive nuclei, irregular in shape, with marked indentations and angularity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, small cleaved-cell, follicular | A low-grade malignant lymphoma of predominantly follicular pattern. Follicles are of relatively uniform size and shape and the cells are usually somewhat larger than normal lymphocytes. Nuclei are irregular with prominent indentations and cytoplasm can rarely be identified. Cells exhibiting these characteristics are often called centrocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, small lymphocytic | A low-grade malignant lymphoma that may, in some cases, be considered histologically identical to chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (cll; leukaemia, lymphocytic, chronic). It is diffuse in pattern, representing the neoplastic proliferation of well-differentiated B-lymphocytes. In patients with immunoglobulin gammopathies, the lymphocytes may exhibit plasmacytoid characteristics. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, small noncleaved-cell | A high-grade malignant lymphoma that includes both burkitt tumour (burkitt lymphoma) and other lymphomas previously designated undifferentiated non-burkitt type. Nuclei in burkitt tumour are round to ovoid and uniform in size. The non-burkitt type exhibits greater nuclear variation and less evidence of cellular maturation with a correspondingly lesser degree of differentiation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, small-cell | A B-cell lymphoma presumably representing a tumour of interfollicular B-lymphocytes that may be functional. Those that are secrete identical immunoglobulin molecules. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, T-cell | A group of heterogeneous lymphoid tumours representing malignant transformations of T-lymphocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, T-cell, cutaneous | A group of lymphomas exhibiting clonal expansion of malignant T-lymphocytes arrested at varying stages of differentiation as well as malignant infiltration of the skin. Mycosis fungoides and sezary syndrome are the best characterised of these disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, T-cell, peripheral | A group of malignant lymphomas thought to derive from peripheral T-lymphocytes in lymph nodes and other nonlymphoid sites. They include a broad spectrum of lymphocyte morphology, but in all instances express T-cell markers admixed with epithelioid histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Although markedly similar to large-cell immunoblastic lymphoma (lymphoma, large-cell, immunoblastic), this group's unique features warrant separate treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, undifferentiated | A form of lymphoma in which relatively large stem cells with large nuclei, pale, scanty cytoplasm, and indistinct borders are predominant. The cells are undifferentiated, i.e., show no morphologic evidence of maturation toward lymphocytes or histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphomatoid | Resembling a lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphomatoid granulomatosis | An angiocentric and angiodestructive lymphoreticular proliferative disorder primarily involving the lungs. Histologically it simulates malignant lymphoma and in some cases may progress to lymphoma. (12 Dec 1998) |
| human T-cell lymphoma/leukaemia virus | A group of viruses (subfamily Oncovirinae, family Retroviridae) that are lymphotropic with a selective affinity for the helper/inducer cell subset of T lymphocytes and that are associated with adult T-cell leukaemia and lymphoma. Synonym: human T-cell lymphotropic virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| small bowel lymphoma | <radiology> Patterns:, infiltrative dilatation, nodular multiple filling defects, polypoid may cause intussiception from leading point associated with Burkitt lymphoma, endoexoenteric fistulae (12 Dec 1998) |
| small lymphocytic lymphoma | <tumour> Essentially the same disease as chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, except that lymphocytes are not increased in the peripheral blood; lymph nodes are enlarged and other lymphoid tissue or bone marrow is infiltrated by small lymphocytes. Synonym: small lymphocytic lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular histiocytic lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma with nodular or diffuse lymph node or bone marrow involvement by large lymphoid cells. Synonym: follicular predominantly small cleaved cell lymphoma, nodular histiocytic lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| nodular lymphoma | <tumour> A malignant lymphoma arising from lymphoid follicular B-cells which may be small or large, growing in a nodular pattern. Synonym: follicular lymphoma, giant follicular lymphoblastoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| non-Hodgkin's lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> A group of lymphomas which differ in important ways from Hodgkin's disease and are classified according to the microscopic appearance of the cancer cells. The disease is classified as either low grade (slowly growing), intermediate grade or high grade (rapidly growing) and may be treated in a variety of ways depending on the exact diagnosis. Previously called lymphosarcoma. (30 Sep 1997) |
| diffuse small cleaved cell lymphoma | <tumour> A diffuse poorly differentiated lymphocytic lymphoma; follicular centre cell lymphoma that lacks a follicular pattern; malignancy is of intermediate grade. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunoblastic lymphoma | <tumour> A monomorphous proliferation of immunoblasts involving the lymph nodes; it may develop in some patients with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| T-cell lymphoma | A cancer of the immune system that appears in the skin; also called mycosis fungoides. (12 Dec 1998) |
| T-cell-rich, B-cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma in which more than 90% of the cells are of T-cell origin, masking the large cells that form the neoplastic B-cell component. See: adult T-cell lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| extra nodal lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> Literally outside the lymph nodes, but exhibiting the characteristics of lymph node cancer. A term used to describe the extent and site of disease. (27 Sep 1997) |
| Ki-1+ lymphoma | <tumour> A form of lymphoma characterised by anaplasia of cells, sinusoidal growth, and immunoreactivity with CD30 (Ki-1 or Ber-H2). Synonym: Ki-1+ lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| follicular lymphoma | <tumour> A malignant lymphoma arising from lymphoid follicular B-cells which may be small or large, growing in a nodular pattern. Synonym: follicular lymphoma, giant follicular lymphoblastoma. (05 Mar 2000) |

| follicular predominantly small cleaved cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma with nodular or diffuse lymph node or bone marrow involvement by large lymphoid cells. Synonym: follicular predominantly small cleaved cell lymphoma, nodular histiocytic lymphoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
