Definitions of Lymphoma:
Lymphoma: Any neoplasm of lymphoid or reticuloendothelial tissues; in general use, synonymous with malignant lymphoma; present as apparently solid tumors composed of cells that appear primitive or resemble lymphocytes, plasma cells, or histiocytes. Lymphomas appear most frequently in the lymph nodes, spleen, or other normal sites of lymphoreticular cells; may invade other organs or manifest as leukemia. Lymphomas are now classified by histology, immunophenotype, and cytogenetic analysis, according to cell of orgin (B or T cells) and degree of maturation. The current World Health Organization (WHO) classification of lymphoid neoplasms is based on the Revised European-American Lymphoma (REAL) classification and effectively replaces older schemes such as the Working Formulation and Rappaport classification, which were based solely on morphology.International Prognostic Index.

Cancer that begins in cells of the immune system.
There are two basic categories of lymphomas. One kind is Hodgkin's
lymphoma, which is marked by the presence of a type of cell called the
Reed-Sternberg cell. The other category is non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, which
includes a large, diverse group of cancers of immune system cells.
Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can be further divided into cancers that have an
indolent (slow-growing) course and those that have an aggressive
(fast-growing) course. These subtypes behave and respond to
treatment differently. Both Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas can occur
in children and adults, and prognosis and treatment depend on the stage and
the type of cancer.

Lymphoma is listed as a "rare disease" by the Office of
Rare Diseases (ORD) of the National Institutes of Health
(NIH). This means that Lymphoma, or a subtype of Lymphoma,
affects less than 200,000 people in the US population.
