Overview
Historical perspective
In 1865, Samuel Wilks used the term "Hodgkin's disease" in Annals of medicine on the name of "Thomas Hodgkin" who published a paper on some morbid appearances of absorbent glands and spleen in 1832[1][2][3]. Consequently, the other heterogeneous lymph node neoplastic disorder was later named as Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is now one of the leading malignancies worldwide and Diffuse Large b cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the most common types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
