==Overview==
'''Diffuse lymphoma''' is a type of [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] where there is not a detectable pattern to the [[tumor]]'s progression through the [[lymph node]] (in contrast to [[follicular lymphoma]].) <ref>{{cite journal | author = Munksgaard L, Christensen B, Brincker H, Pedersen N | title = CB/CC diffuse lymphoma: a distinct subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma?

==Classification==
The distinction between "diffuse" and "follicular" is only one of many distinctions made in classifying NHL. (See [[Non-Hodgkin_lymphoma#Types_of_non-Hodgkin.27s_lymphoma]] for more details.)
 
Types of diffuse lymphoma include:
* [[Diffuse large cell lymphoma]]
** [[Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma]] <ref name="pmid11786909">{{cite journal |author=Shipp MA, Ross KN, Tamayo P, ''et al'' |title=Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma outcome prediction by gene-expression profiling and supervised machine learning |journal=Nat.
