Non-hodgkin lymphoma

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

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.
