Lymphoproliferative disorder is a non-specific term that encompasses a subset of hematologic cancers and lymphocyte proliferations that are not obviously cancer.[1]

It should not be confused with post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLPD). PTLPD is a specific diagnosis and dealt with in a separate article.
