May be primary (Primary central nervous system lymphoma) or secondary lymphoma (pathologically identical)
see Mantle Cell Lymphoma.
One classification system for lymphomas divides the diseases according to the size of the white blood cells 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.
