| 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) |
| immunoblastic lymphoma | <tumour> A monomorphous proliferation of immunoblasts involving the lymph nodes; it may develop in some patients with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. (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) |
| Lennert's lymphoma | <tumour> Malignant lymphoma with a high proportion of diffusely scattered epithelioid cells, tonsillar involvement, and an unpredictable course. Synonym: Lennert's lesion. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphoblastic lymphoma | <tumour> A diffuse lymphoma in children, with supradiaphragmatic distribution and T lymphocytes having convoluted nuclei; many patients develop acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lymphocytic lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> A cancer of lymphatic tissues, the tumour cells are mostly abnormal lymphocytes. (13 Nov 1997) |
| lymphoma | <oncology, tumour> Malignant tumour of lymphoblasts derived from B lymphocytes. most commonly affects children in tropical Africa: both Epstein Barr virus and immunosuppression due to malarial infection are involved. (18 Nov 1997) |
| lymphoma, aids-related | B-cell lymphoid tumours that occur in association with aids. Patients often present with an advanced stage of disease and highly malignant subtypes including burkitt lymphoma, immunoblastic large-cell lymphoma, small non-cleaved-cell lymphoma and diffuse large-cell lymphoma. The tumours are often disseminated in unusual extranodal sites and chromosomal abnormalities are frequently present. It is likely that polyclonal B-cell lymphoproliferation in aids is a complex result of ebv infection, HIV antigenic stimulation, and T-cell-dependent HIV activation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, follicular | Malignant lymphoma in which the lymphomatous cells are clustered into identifiable nodules within the lymph nodes. The nodules resemble to some extent the germinal centres of lymph node follicles and most likely represent neoplastic proliferation of lymph node-derived follicular centre B-lymphocytes. This class of lymphoma usually occurs in older persons, is commonly multinodal, and possibly extranodal. Patients whose lymphomas present a follicular or nodular pattern generally have a more indolent course than those presenting with a diffuse pattern. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, high-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have a relatively unfavorable survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, intermediate-grade | One of the three major prognostic groupings for non-hodgkin lymphomas as proposed in the working formulation of the non-hodgkin's lymphoma pathologic classification project sponsored by the national cancer institute (1981). Lymphomas falling within this group have an intermediate survival potential. (12 Dec 1998) |
