Histology
A Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a mixture of:
- transformed lymphocytes
- reactive lymphoid cells
- stroma
85% of lymphomas are derived from a clone of B cells, the remainder have a T cell origin.
About 20 different types of lymphoma are recognised. Identification depends on special stains and cytological markers.
