MedlinePlus: Lymphoma is a cancer of a part of the immune system called the lymphatic system. there are many types of lymphoma. one type is called hodgkin disease. the rest are called non-hodgkin lymphoma.
non-hodgkin lymphomas begin when a type of white blood cell, called a t cell or b cell, becomes abnormal. the cell divides again and again, making more and more abnormal cells. these abnormal cells can spread to almost any other part of the body. most of the time, doctors can't determine why a person gets non-hodgkin lymphoma.
non-hodgkin lymphoma can cause many symptoms, such as
swollen, painless lymph nodes in the neck, armpits or groin
unexplained weight loss
fever
soaking night sweats
coughing, trouble breathing or chest pain
weakness and tiredness that don't go away
pain, swelling or a feeling of fullness in the abdomen
your doctor will perform an exam and lab tests to determine if you have lymphoma.

MalaCards: Burkitt's Lymphoma, also known as burkitt lymphoma, is related to non-hodgkin lymphoma and cutaneous t cell lymphoma. An important gene associated with Burkitt's Lymphoma is CXCR5 (chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor 5), and among its related pathways are Apoptosis and Autophagy and Lymphocyte Signaling. The drugs cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin hydrochloride and the compounds calcium and glucose have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include lymph node, brain and nk cells, and related mouse phenotypes are hematopoietic system and respiratory system. Disease Ontology: A hematologic cancer that affects lymphocytes that reside in the lymphatic system and in blood-forming organs.6 Genetics Home Reference: X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a disorder of the immune system and blood-forming cells that is found almost exclusively in males. More than half of individuals with this disorder experience an exaggerated immune response to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a very common virus that eventually infects most humans. In some people it causes infectious mononucleosis (commonly known as "mono"). Normally, after initial infection, EBV remains in certain immune system cells (lymphocytes) called B cells. However, the virus is generally inactive (latent) because it is controlled by other lymphocytes called T cells that specifically target EBV-infected B cells.17 NIH Rare Diseases: Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is a rare, aggressive form of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the organs of the immune system. It is more common in males than females. Three forms exist: one endemic to Africa that is linked to the Epstein Barr virus (EBV); a sporadic form that develops mainly in the abdomen; and an immunodeficiency-associated form that occurs most commonly in individuals with HIV infection. BL can also develop in the ear, nose, throat and more rarely in other locations. Signs and symptoms may differ depending on the form of BL and the organs or body systems affected. The exact cause of the condition is not known. Treatment typically includes a few months of intensive chemotherapy; the current cure rate is estimated to be about 80-90%.30 OMIM: 113970 |
