Lymphoma at cut-up. (WC/Emmanuelm)

Lymphoma is almost a specialty for itself. It can be subclassified a number of ways.

This article is an introduction to lymphoma. An introduction to lymph nodes and lymph node pathology that is not lymphoma are in the articles lymph node and lymph node pathology.

A general introduction to haematopathology is in the haematopathology article.

General

The presentations are variable and similar to that of other malignancies. They may include:

  • Mass effect.
  • Weight loss.
  • Fever.
  • Night sweats.
  • Infection.
  • Incidental:
    • Routine blood work for something unrelated.
    • Life insurance work-up.

B symptoms

  • May be seen in Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
  • Presence correlates with higher stage.
  • Predictor of poor prognosis independent of stage.

All of 'em are required to call "B symptoms"[1] - mnemonic These Bothersome features cause Wednesday Night Fever:[2]

  • Weight loss - >10% in 6 months.
  • Night sweats.
  • Fever - 38 degree C that is unexplained.

Note:

  • A symptoms do not exist. The term comes from the staging system. In the "A" of the staging system the above symptoms are absent.

Lymphoma classification

Lymphomas can be divided into:

Other categorizations:

  • T cell lymphomas (rare).
  • B cell lymphomas (more common).

Two most common NHLs:

Leukemia as a med student

Histologic classification

  1. "Size".
  2. Nodularity.

"Size"

  • The single most important factor for classifying lymphomas.
  • Not really based on size.
"Large" "Small" Utility
Nucleoli present absent most discriminative
Size >2x RBC dia. <2x RBC dia. moderate
Chromatin pattern "open" (pale) "closed" moderate/minimal
Cytoplasm mold-minimal
basophilic cytoplasm 		scant cytoplasm minimal

Histologic terms

  • Lymphomas = cells look discohesive, may be difficult to differentiate from poor differentiated carcinoma.
  • Auer rods = Acute myeloid leukemia.
    • Granular cytoplasmic rod (0.5-1 x4-6 micrometres).
  • Reed-Sternberg cells = Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    • Large cell - very large nucleus.
      • Classically binucleated.
  • Russell bodies = plasmacytoma (+others).
    • Eosinophilic, large, homogenous immunoglobulin-containing inclusions.[3]
      • Mott cell is a cell that contains Russell bodies.[3]
  • Effacement of nodal architecture.
  • Loss of proliferation centers.

IHC
