==Lymphoma classification==
==Lymphoma==
Lymphomas can be divided into:
{{main|Lymphoma}}
*Hodgkin's lymphoma.
*Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).


Other categorizations:
==Plasma cell lesions==
*T cell lymphomas (rare).
:See ''[[lymphoma]]''.
*B cell lymphomas (more common).
 
Two most common NHLs:
*Follicular lymphoma (FL).
*Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
 
===Lymphoma as a med student===
*Acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL) - predominantly in '''smALL''' people, i.e. children.
*Acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
*Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).
*Chronic lymphoid leukemia (CLL) - relatively good prognosis.
 
===Histologic classification===
#"Size".
#Nodularity.
 
===="Size"====
*The single most important factor for classifying lymphomas.
*Not really based on size.

===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.<ref name=pmid3979421>{{cite journal |author=Alanen A, Pira U, Lassila O, Roth J, Franklin RM |title=Mott cells are plasma cells defective in immunoglobulin secretion |journal=Eur. J. Immunol. |volume=15 |issue=3 |pages=235–42 |year=1985 |month=March |pmid=3979421 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
***''Mott cell'' is a cell that contains Russell bodies.<ref name=pmid3979421/>
*Effacement of nodal architecture.
*Loss of proliferation centers.
 
===IHC===
====General====
*CD45.
**AKA ''common lymphocyte antigen''.
**Useful to differentiate from carcinomas (e.g. small cell carcinoma).
====T cell markers====
*CD2 -- T cell marker (all T cells).
*CD3 -- T cell marker (all T cells).
**CD4 -- subset of T cells.
**CD8 -- subset of T cells.
*CD7 -- often lost first in T cell lymphomas.
*CD5 -- +ve in CLL & mantle cell lymphoma.
*CD43 -- +ve in mantle cell lymphoma
 
====B cell markers====
*CD20 -- B cell marker.
**CD19 -- B cell marker - used for [[flow cytometry]].
*PAX-5.
*CD79a.
 
*CD10 -- follicule center.
*BCL-6.
*BCL-2.
 
====Follicular dendritic cells====
*CD23 -- follicular dendritic cells.
*CD21 -- follicular dendritic cells.
 
====Hodgkin's lymphoma====
=====Classic=====
*CD30 -- Hodgkin's lymphoma (most sensitive).
*CD15.
 
==Hodgkin's lymphoma==
{{main|Hodgkin's lymphoma}}
===General===
*Abbreviated ''HL''.
 
===Microscopic===
By definition, HL has Reed-Sternberg cells (RSCs).
 
====Classical HL====
Features (classic HL):
*Reed-Sternberg cell.
**Large binucleated cell.
***May be multinucleated.
***May have a horseshoe-like shape.
**Macronucleolus - approximately the size of a RBC (~8 micrometers).
**Well-defined cell border.
 
Notes:
*Large mononuclear cells are common (so called "mononuclear RSCs") but not diagnostic.

=====Subtypes=====
There are four CHL subtypes:<ref name=Ref_WMSP567>{{Ref WMSP|567}}</ref>
#Nodular sclerosis CHL - ~70% of CHL.
#*Mixed cellular background - T cell, plasma cells, eosinophils, neutrophils and histiocytes.
#*Nodular sclerosing fibrosis - thick strands fibrosis.
#Mixed cellularity CHL - ~20-25% of CHL.
#*Like nodular sclerosis - but no fibrosis.
#*May be associated with HIV infection.<ref name=pmid20138008>{{cite journal |author=Sissolak G, Sissolak D, Jacobs P |title=Human immunodeficiency and Hodgkin lymphoma |journal=Transfus. Apher. Sci. |volume=42 |issue=2 |pages=131–9 |year=2010 |month=April |pmid=20138008 |doi=10.1016/j.transci.2010.01.008 |url=}}</ref>
#Lymphocyte-rich CHL - rare.
#*T lymphocytes only (no mix of cells).
