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
Physiology
The normal physiology of [name of process] can be understood as follows:
Pathogenesis
- The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not completely understood.
OR
- It is understood that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
- [Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
- Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
- [Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
- The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
- The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Genetics
[Disease name] is transmitted in [mode of genetic transmission] pattern.
OR
Genes involved in the pathogenesis of [disease name] include:
- [Gene1]
- [Gene2]
- [Gene3]
OR
The development of [disease name] is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as:
- [Mutation 1]
- [Mutation 2]
- [Mutation 3]
Associated Conditions
Conditions associated with [disease name] include:
- [Condition 1]
- [Condition 2]
- [Condition 3]
Gross Pathology
On gross pathology, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].
Microscopic Pathology
On microscopic histopathological analysis, [feature1], [feature2], and [feature3] are characteristic findings of [disease name].

Genetics
The development of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is the result of multiple genetic mutations such as:[1][2]
- Mutations of the B-cell receptor genes and NFKB pathway
- RNA splicing mutations in the small lymphocytic lymphoma
- Genetic mutations in histone formation:[3]
- MLL2
- MEF2B
- EZH2
- CREBBP
- EP300
- MLL2
