2.2. LYMPHOMAS

Lymphomas are regional neoplastic Disorders of the hematopoietic and lymphoid Tissues. This group of conditions includes lymphosarcoma, mycosis fungoides, Sézary syndrome, reticulosarcoma, and lymphogranulomatosis, also known as Hodgkin's disease. Lymphomas share no distinct features that differentiate them fundamentally from leukemias. Frequently, they represent the terminal stage of leukemia (such as lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma) or eventually transform into leukemia themselves.

Lymphomas originate from lymphoid Lineage Cells and reticular cells, while the precise cellular origin of certain forms remains yet to be fully elucidated.

Each type of lymphoma exhibits its own distinctive features.
