  Lymphoma Information Network - Follicular Lymphomas
This lymphoma is rich in small-cleaved cells, which know how to voyage in the blood and are often found there as well as in the marrow and liver.
Though these lymphomas are also indolent (low grade in the Working Formulation), the increased percentage of large cells is associated with a reduced average survival.
Large-cell follicular lymphoma is classified as an intermediate-grade lymphoma, and the patients may benefit from the inclusion of an anthracycline in their chemotherapy.

  Lymphoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lymphoma is a variety of cancer that originates in lymphocytes or, more rarely, of histiocytes.
Lymphomas are part of the broad group of diseases called hematological neoplasms.
Traditionally, Lymphoma is classified as Hodgkin's lymphoma, discovered by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832, and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (all other types of lymphoma).

 Hematopathology: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphomas   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Aggressive histology means that many of the lymphoma cells are highly atypical: large and irregular, with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli.
Diffuse mixed lymphomas may originate from follicular center cells (by the way, low grade follicular lymphoma has a slightly different name that includes the word "cleaved": follicular small-cleaved and large cell).
Another soft indication of a follicular center cell origin (and perhaps transformation from a folliclar lymphoma) is the presence of small-cleaved cells interspersed among the large cells (images).

 Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) characterized by the t(11;14)(q13;q32), in which the ccnd1 gene is juxtaposed with the immunoglobulin heavy chain gene, resulting in up-regulation of cyclin D1.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a B-cell neoplasm with a relatively aggressive clinical course.
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a distinct clinicopathologic entity of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, characterized by a monotonous proliferation of small to medium-sized lymphocytes with co-expression of CD5 and CD20, an aggressive and incurable clinical course, and frequent t(11;14)(q13;q32) translocation.

 Adult non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Splenic marginal zone lymphoma is an indolent lymphoma that is marked by massive splenomegaly and peripheral blood and bone marrow involvement, usually without adenopathy.[50,51] This type of lymphoma is otherwise known as splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes, an uncommon variant of B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common of the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, comprising 30% of newly-diagnosed cases.[7] Most patients present with rapidly enlarging masses, often with symptoms both locally and systemically (designated B symptoms with fever, recurrent night sweats, or weight loss).
Burkitt's lymphoma/diffuse small noncleaved cell lymphoma typically involves younger patients and represents the most common type of pediatric non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.[129] These aggressive extranodal B-cell lymphomas are characterized by translocation and deregulation of the c-myc gene on chromosome 8.

 Prognostic Factors in HIV-Related Diffuse Large-Cell Lymphoma: Before Versus After Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The diagnostic criteria used to determine lymphoma subtype were based on the Lukes and Collins classification system for malignant lymphomas.17 Thus, for this study, the Lukes and Collins diffuse large cleaved, large noncleaved, and B immunoblastic subtypes were considered as DLCL.
Differences in baseline lymphoma characteristics and HIV-related characteristics between the patients treated in the HAART and pre-HAART eras were compared using the t test or 2 test for continuous or categoric variables, respectively.
Although both HIV-related (CD4 cell count) and lymphoma-related (attainment of complete remission and IPI score) factors were independently predictive of survival in the pre-HAART era, only lymphoma-related factors were independently prognostic for survival in the HAART era.

In contrast, the role of gene amplification in activation of oncogenes in non-Hodgkin's lymphomas is poorly characterized.
The translocation is found in 70% to 85% of follicular lymphomas and in 20% to 30% of diffuse large-cell lymphomas.
Lymphoma with t(14; 18) translocation was used as a positive control (P) and cases with loss of 18 (gels I and II) and normal 18 (gel III) were used as negative controls (N).

It may be that the patients with grade 3a follicular center cell lymphoma fit perhaps better into the low grade categories, those with grade 3b into the high grade category.
For example, in recurrent large cell lymphoma, if we use this, that's as compared to using, say, ESHAP chemotherapy for six cycles or six months or DHAP or whatever chemotherapy regimen that people actually have to go through for a long period of time.
There is a study in the central nervous system lymphomas, which are commonly associated with EB virus, and this is the marker for EB virus here, where people are using drugs like ganciclovir, which is an antiviral drug, to treat these lymphomas.

 Mantle cell lymphoma
It is assumed that the malignant cells correspond to newly made normal lymphocytes that travel from the bone marrow and reside in primary lymphoid follicles, and in the mantle zones of secondary follicles in the lymph nodes and spleen.
Mitotic rate is low in the small variant, but increases in the mixed and blastic variants, and recurrences are often accompanied by gradual increase of cell size and cell proliferative fraction (speed of proliferation).
Mantle cell lymphoma is usually widespread at diagnosis into the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow (up to 90%), peripheral blood, and extranodal sites, particularly the Waldeyer’s ring (the ring of adenoid, palatine and lingual tonsils at the back of the mouth) or the gastrointestinal tract.

PURPOSE AND METHODS: Diffuse small cleaved-cell lymphoma (DSCL) is a relatively uncommon non-hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the United States and has not been the subject of recent in-depth study of factors predictive of outcome.
Neither a history of low-grade lymphoma nor the presence of residual immunologically detectable follicles influenced outcome (P =.93 and.97, respectively).

 eMedicine - Lymphoma, Mantle Cell : Article Excerpt by: M Rashid Abbasi, MD
Background: Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is recognized in the Revised European-American Lymphoma and World Health Organization classifications as a distinct clinicopathologic entity.
MCL was not recognized by previous lymphoma classification schemes; it was frequently categorized as diffuse small-cleaved cell lymphoma (by the International Working Formulation) or centrocytic lymphoma (by the Kiel classification).
Pathophysiology: MCL is a lymphoproliferative disorder derived from a subset of naive pregerminal center cells localized in primary follicles or in the mantle region of secondary follicles.

 Sloan-Kettering - Pediatric Lymphomas: Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma
The form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that develops in children differs from the form that develops in adults based on a difference in the grade of tumor.
Low-grade (slow growing) types of lymphoma include: small lymphocytic lymphoma; follicular lymphoma; mucosal-associated lymphoma tissue; marginal zone lymphoma; monocytoid B-cell lymphoma (which accounts for 30 to 40 percent of all lymphomas found); and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma.
The diagnosis of a lymphoma is made by excisional biopsy, a surgical procedure in which a portion of the enlarged lymph node or other suspected areas (known as a "mass") is removed, so that the cells in the mass can be examined.
