| 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) |
| 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 large cell lymphoma | <tumour> A B-cell lymphoma of intermediate malignancy. (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) |
| large cell lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> Highly malignant group of tumours arising from transformed lymphocytes or myeloid precursors. Cell of origin often obscure. (18 Nov 1997) |
