Lymphomas are hyperplastic disease states of the reticuloendothelial component of the hematopoietic system, i.e. the bone marrow, lymph nodes or other foci of lymphoid tissue, dispersed throughout the body, such as in the spleen, tonsils, lymph nodes of the gastrointestinal tract.
The hyperplasia may sometimes spread to other organs as a result of metastasis.
This group includes many more or less diverse in the cell structure of clinical varieties.
Diagnosis
Noticing a fairly pronounced enlargement of the lymph node (or lymph nodes) is an indication (especially in the case of concomitant fever) to see a doctor as soon as possible. Thanks to the histopathological examination of a section of the enlarged lymph node and a complete blood count, it is possible to establish the correct diagnosis and undertake the appropriate treatment.
Early diagnosis and the early commencement of systematic treatment with radiant energy or chemotherapeutic agents promise a practically complete recovery. The possibilities of prophylactic counteracting are the same as in other proliferative states of the hematopoietic system.
