====== Lymphoma Classification ======

[[Hodgkin lymphoma]]

[[Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma]]

see [[Mantle Cell Lymphoma]].

One classification system for [[lymphoma]]s divides the diseases according to the size of the [[white blood cell]]s that has turned cancerous. The large-cell lymphomas have large cells. A large cell, in this context, has a diameter of 17 to 20 µm.

Other groups of lymphomas in this system are the small-cell lymphomas and mixed-cell lymphomas.
