There are fourteen kinds of lymphomas involving B cells.  Five account for nearly three out of four patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma:<ref name="The Lymphomas">{{cite web |url=http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/attachments/National/br_1161891669.pdf|title=The Lymphomas |accessdate=2008-04-07 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date=May 2006 |format=PDF |publisher=The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society |pages=p. 12}}</ref>

Additionally, some researchers separate out lymphomas that appear result from other immune system disorders, such as [[AIDS-related lymphoma]].
