NCIt definition : Distinct from Hodgkin lymphoma both morphologically and biologically, non-Hodgkin
lymphoma (NHL) is characterized by the absence of Reed-Sternberg cells, can occur
at any age, and usually presents as a localized or generalized lymphadenopathy associated
with fever and weight loss. The clinical course varies according to the morphologic
type. NHL is clinically classified as indolent, aggressive, or having a variable clinical
course. NHL can be of B-or T-/NK-cell lineage.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: A malignant neoplasm of the lymphatic system that is comprised of abnormal
lymphocytes in the absence of Reed-Sternberg cells.; NCI-GLOSS: Any of a large group of cancers of lymphocytes (white blood cells). NHLs
can occur at any age and are often marked by lymph nodes that are larger than normal,
fever, and weight loss. There are many different types of NHL. These types can be
divided into aggressive (fast-growing) and indolent (slow-growing) types, and they
can be formed from either B-cells or T-cells. B-cell NHLs include Burkitt lymphoma,
chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL), diffuse large B-cell
lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, immunoblastic large cell lymphoma, precursor B-lymphoblastic
lymphoma, and mantle cell lymphoma. T-cell NHLs include mycosis fungoides, anaplastic
large cell lymphoma, and precursor T-lymphoblastic lymphoma. Lymphomas that occur
after bone marrow or stem cell transplantation are usually B-cell NHLs. Prognosis
and treatment depend on the stage and type of disease.;
