Overview
Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma represents a heterogeneous group of diseases with varied clinical presentation and histological appearance.It arises from cell of the lymphoid system, tumors are mainly derived from B lymphocytes, but are also from T lymphocytes, or natural killer cells. Lymphomas rise from different stages of B and T cell differentiation. Aberrations in the tightly controlled steps of B cell development can lead to oncogenesis. These aberrations are mainly seen in form of chromosomal translocation.
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- Lymphomas can arise from different stages of B cell development:
- B cell development starts in the primary lymphoid tissue, the bone marrow and subsequent maturation takes place in secondary lymphoid tissue (spleen and lymph nodes).
- At the germinal centers of secondary lymphoid tissue B cells encounter antigens via T cells and then undergo affinity maturation to produce immunoglobulins of high affinity.
- It supports rapid B-cell proliferation for immunoglobulin affinity maturation and production of antibody diversity through two processes know as somatic hypermutation (SHM) and immunoglobulin class switching.
- Both of these processes require rapid cell turnover and multiple double stranded DNA breaks, which is error-prone.
- Somatically acquired genetic alterations ( mainly translocations) of these processes is probably the underlying cause of lymphomagenesis.[1][2][3]
- The major subtypes of non-hodgkin lymphoma include the following:[4][5]
- Mature B-cell neoplasms:
- Burkitt lymphoma
- Diffuse large B cell lymphoma
- Mantle cell lymphoma
- Small lymphocytic lymphoma
- Follicular lymphoma
- Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma
- Splenic marginal zone lymphoma
- Lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma
- Mature T and NK neoplasms:
- Adult T-cell lymphoma
- Mycosis fungoides
- Sezary syndrome
- Peripheral T cell lymphoma
- Mature B-cell neoplasms:
