PATHOGENESIS OF LYMPHOMAS
All lymphomas are derived from a single mutated cell

Classification of Lymphomas
important because lymphomas differ dramatically in
their:
pattern of spread
growth rate
response to treatment and prognosis
Two broad categories of lymphoma:
Hodgkins lymphoma (disease) (~40%)
Non-Hodgkins lymphomas (~60%)
Cells of origin:
- The non- Hodgkins lymphomas are derived from
either B or T lymphocytes.
- The cell of origin in Hodgkins lymphoma is now
known to be of B-cell origin also.

most common type of indolent lymphoma

several chemotherapy options if symptomatic
median survival: years
although considered indolent, morbidity and
mortality can be considerable
transformation to aggressive lymphoma can occur
Hodgkin lymphoma
Thomas Hodgkin
(1798-1866)
Hodgkin lymphoma
cell of origin: germinal centre B-cell
Reed-Sternberg cells (or RS variants) in the affected
tissues
most cells in affected lymph node are polyclonal
reactive lymphoid cells, not neoplastic cells
Reed-Sternberg cell

(nodular sclerosis)

Histologic subtypes

lymphocyte-rich
lymphocyte depleted
lymphoma in US/Europe
Usually presents in the anterior
mediastinum and neck of young
adult females
Characterized by fibrotic capsule
and bands subdividing tissue and
Lacunar variant Reed Sternberg
cell
30
Histologic subtypes 2
Lymphocyte predominant
Usually presents with limited disease in the
Lymphocyte depleted
Often presents in retroperitoneum, older
patients
Accompanied by loss lymphocytes, sclerosis
and pleomorphic RS cell variants
Also more aggressive disease
31
Epidemiology
less frequent than non-Hodgkin lymphoma
overall M>F
peak incidence in 3rd decade
Clinical manifestations:
lymphadenopathy
contiguous spread
extranodal sites relatively uncommon except in
advanced disease
B symptoms
Hodgkins lymphoma
It most typically involves the cervical and mediastinal
one peak in the 20s and 30s, and a second peak over the age
of 50.
35
36
Local Symptoms
lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, or tissue infiltration/invasion.
Lymphadenopathy is the most common finding that is noticable to
Hodgkins Lymphoma
defined by the presence of tumor cells called
Reed-Sternberg cells
Staging very important
usually curable

Diagnosis
Blood
Lymph node excision biopsy , image guided needle
biopsy.
Chest X-ray, CT of thorax, abdominal, pelvis
and bone marrow biopsystaging of HL
41
Staging HL
Confined to single lymph node region
II. Involvement of two or more nodal areas on the same
side of the diaphragm
III. Involvement of nodes on both sides of diaphragm.
IV. Spread beyond the lymph nodes e.g. liver or bone
marrow.

Prognosis of HL
Depends on stage :
43
Non-hodgkins lymphoma
The non-Hodgkins lymphomas have a range of clinical
44
likely to grow:
Indolent (also called low-grade) lymphomas grow
slowly but poorly responsive to treatment. They tend
to cause few symptoms.
Aggressive (also called intermediate-grade and highgrade) lymphomas grow and spread more quickly,
potential for cure. They tend to cause severe
symptoms.
Many indolent lymphomas become aggressive
lymphomas.
