| lymphoma, mixed-cell | Malignant lymphoma characterised by the presence of a mixed population of cells, with the smaller cells resembling lymphocytes and the larger ones histiocytes. It usually presents in a nodular (follicular) pattern, but may evolve into a diffuse pattern. (12 Dec 1998) |

| 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) |
