==Overview==
==Overview==
'''Lymphoma''' is  a type of [[cancer]] that originates in [[lymphocyte]]s (a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system). There are many types of lymphoma. Lymphomas are part of the broad group of diseases called [[Hematological malignancy|hematological neoplasms]]. It was discovered by [[Thomas Hodgkin]] in 1832 and was called [[Hodgkin's Disease]] throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Colloquially, lymphoma is broadly categorized as [[Hodgkin's lymphoma]] or [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma|non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] (all other types of lymphoma). Scientific classification of the types of lymphoma is more detailed. Although older classifications referred to histiocytic lymphomas, these are recognized in newer classifications as of B, T or NK cell lineage. Histiocytic malignancies are rare and are classified as sarcomas.<ref name="isbn92-832-2411-6">{{cite book |author= |title=Pathology and Genetics of Haemo (World Health Organization Classification of Tumours S.) |publisher=Oxford Univ Pr |location= |year= |pages= |isbn=92-832-2411-6 |oclc= |doi=}}</ref>

{{family tree/start}}
In the 19th and 20th centuries the affliction was called [[Hodgkin's Disease]], as it was discovered by [[Thomas Hodgkin]] in 1832. Colloquially, lymphoma is broadly categorized as [[Hodgkin's lymphoma]] and [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma|non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] (all other types of lymphoma). Scientific classification of the types of lymphoma is more detailed.

According to the U.S. [[National Institutes of Health]], lymphomas account for about five percent of all cases of cancer in the United States, and Hodgkin's lymphoma in particular accounts for less than one percent of all cases of cancer in the United States.

Because the lymphatic system is part of the body's immune system, patients with a weakened immune system, such as from [[HIV]] infection or from certain drugs or medication, also have a higher incidence of lymphoma.

This classification attempts to classify lymphomas by cell type, i.e. the normal cell type that most closely resembles the tumor. They are classified in three large groups: the [[B cell]] tumors, the [[T cell]] and [[natural killer cell]] tumors, [[Hodgkin lymphoma]], and other minor groups: ([[ICD-O]] codes are provided where available)

Overview

Lymphoma is a type of cancer that originates in lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell in the vertebrate immune system). There are many types of lymphoma. Lymphomas are part of the broad group of diseases called hematological neoplasms. It was discovered by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832 and was called Hodgkin's Disease throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Colloquially, lymphoma is broadly categorized as Hodgkin's lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (all other types of lymphoma). Scientific classification of the types of lymphoma is more detailed. Although older classifications referred to histiocytic lymphomas, these are recognized in newer classifications as of B, T or NK cell lineage. Histiocytic malignancies are rare and are classified as sarcomas.[1]

Differentiating Lymphoma From Other Diseases

Differentiating diagnosis of Lymphoma Symptoms Signs Diagnosis Additional Findings
Fever Rash Diarrhea Abdominal pain Weight loss Painful lymphadenopathy Hepatosplenomegaly Arthritis Lab Findings
Lymphoma + – – + + – + – Increase ESR, increased LDH Night sweats, constant fatigue
Brucellosis + + – + + + + + Relative lymphocytosis Night sweats, often with characteristic smell, likened to wet hay
Typhoid fever + + – + – – + + Decreased hemoglobin Incremental increase in temperature initially and than sustained fever as high as 40°C (104°F)
Malaria + – + + – – + + Microcytosis,

elevated LDH

"Tertian" fever: paroxysms occur every second day
Tuberculosis + + – + + + – + Mild normocytic anemia, hyponatremia, and

hypercalcemia

Night sweats, constant fatigue
Mumps + – – – – + – – Relative lymphocytosis, serum amylaseelevated Parotidswelling/tenderness
Rheumatoid arthritis – + – – – – – + ESR and CRP elevated, positive rheumatoid factor Morning stiffness
SLE – + – + + – – + ESR and CRP elevated, positive ANA Fatigue
HIV – – – + + + – + Leukopenia Constant fatigue

CNS lymphoma must be differentiated from other causes of seizures, headache, and fever in immunocompromised patients such as disseminated tuberculosis and disseminated aspergillosis.

Disease Differentiating signs and symptoms Differentiating tests
CNS lymphoma[2]
Disseminated tuberculosis[3]
Aspergillosis[4]
Cryptococcosis
Chagas disease[5]
CMV infection[6]
HSV infection[7]
Varicella Zoster infection[8]
Brain abscess[9][10]
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy[11]
  • Symptoms are often more insidious in onset and progress over months. Symptoms include progressive weakness, poor coordination, with gradual slowing of mental function. Only seen in the immunosuppressed. Rarely associated with fever or other systemic symptoms

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, lymphomas account for about five percent of all cases of cancer in the United States.
  • Hodgkin's lymphoma in particular accounts for less than one percent of all cases of cancer in the United States
