Lymphoma is a group originated in the lymph nodes or other lymphoid tissues of malignant tumors, the common classification can be divided into Hodgkin's lymphoma disease (referred to as HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (the NHL) two categories, see lymphoid tissue cells and (or) tumor cell hyperplasia, the clinical to the most typical painless swollen lymph nodes, liver and spleen enlargement often, late stage cachexia, fever and anemia. Lymphoma cell morphology is extremely complex, the new 2008 WHO classification of lymphoma, there are 80 subtypes. Because the location and extent of lesions varied clinical manifestations are inconsistent, the primary site in the lymph nodes, but also in extranodal lymphoid tissue, for example, will the tonsils, nasopharynx, gastrointestinal tract, spleen, bone or skin and so on. Results of primary lymphoid tissues become more common in the Ministry of NHL.
A common classification of lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease more common in youth, children rarely, the first time the symptoms are often painless cervical or supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (60% to 80%), left more than right, followed by axillary lymph nodes , enlarged lymph nodes can be mobile, but also adhesion to each other, integration into the block, palpation of the cartilage-like feel, if the lymph node nerve, can cause pain and sadness, only a small number of patients without prior deep superficial lymph nodes, deep lymph nodes enlargement can compress the adjacent organs, the performance of compression symptoms, such as mediastinal lymphadenopathy can cause coughing, chest tightness, shortness of breath, pulmonary atelectasis and superior vena cava disorder; retroperitoneal lymph nodes may compress the ureter, causing hydronephrosis ; epidural spinal cord compression caused mass psychosis. Some other HD patients (30% to 50%) to license or recurrent unexplained fever as the main onset of symptoms. Slightly larger than normal spring and autumn these patients, predominantly male, more diffuse lesions, often involving the retroperitoneal lymph nodes have been. Department patients with night sweats, fever, fatigue and weight loss and other symptoms. Periodic fever (Pel-Ebstein fever) met on 1 / 6 patients. Department patients may have local and systemic skin itching, mostly young patients, especially women. Body itching for the HD's unique symptoms.
Categories of common lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma can be found in a variety of spring group, but increased with the onset of spring growth. Men more than women are. Most are painless cervical and supraclavicular lymph nodes led see performance, but less than HD. Poorly differentiated lymphocytic easy to infringe the mediastinum. Enlarged lymph nodes may also cause compression symptoms accordingly. Fever, weight loss, night sweats and other symptoms seen in only 24% of patients. Most of the more advanced or diffuse lesions were. Body itching is rare. In addition to well-differentiated cell type outside, NHL general rapid development, high incidence of distant spread.
