Cancer of the lymphoid tissues Lymphomas are often described as being large or small cell types, cleaved or noncleaved, diffuse or nodular The different types often have different prognoses (i e , prospect of survival or recovery) Some of these lymphomas are named after the physicians who first described them (e g , Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease) Lymphomas can also be referred to by the organ where they are active such as CNS lymphomas, which are in the central nervous system, and GI lymphomas, which are in the gastrointestinal tract The types of lymphomas most commonly associated with HIV infection are called non-Hodgkin's lymphomas or B cell lymphomas In these types of cancers, certain cells of the lymphatic system grow abnormally They divide rapidly, growing into tumors

Cancer of the lymphatic system, which is composed of the tissues and organs that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease The lymphatic system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and a network of vessels that carry fluid and infection-fighting cells Lymphomas fall into two categories: Hodgkin's Disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
malignant neoplasm of lymphoid origin e g follicular lymphoma
A cancer that originates in a lymphocyte The site of the malignant transformation is usually a lymph node but may be the lymphatic tissue of the marrow, gastrointestinal tract, spleen, skin, or other sites The disease results from the uncontrolled growth and accumulation of malignant lymphocytes Enlargement of affected lymph nodes is usually the principal manifestation

Malignant tumor of lymph node tissue
A cancer of the lymphoid tissue, largely a solid tumor with cells arising from proliferating lymphocytes Symptoms may include lymph-node swelling, weight loss and fever Some examples of lymphomas are Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Treatment involves radiation therapy (radiotherapy) or chemotherapy or both
                          A   cancer  of   lymphocytes    Lymphoma   may  give   rise   to   a   tumour
Any of a group of malignant diseases (see cancer) that usually start in the lymph nodes or lymphoid tissues. The two major types, Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, each have several subtypes. Diagnosis of either type requires biopsy, usually from the lymph nodes. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas may be diffuse (widespread) or nodular (concentrated in nodules); nodular lymphomas generally develop more slowly

Hodgkin's lymphoma
A malignant lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the formation of large tumour cells (Reed-Sternberg cells) in the lymph nodes
hodgkin's lymphoma
Hodgkin's lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma first described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease. Pathologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be cured by radiation. Later it was one of the first to be cured by combination chemotherapy. The cure rate is about 93%, making it one of the most curable forms of cancer
