Lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma
Reticulosarcoma
- rare type of nonHodgkin's lymphoma of intermediate to high malignancy, characterized by the presence of large tumor cells that resemble histiocytes morphologically but are considered to be of lymphoid origin.
- (foll-IK-yew-lar large cell lim-FO-ma) A rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer of the lymphatic system) with large cells that look cleaved (split) or non-cleaved under the microscope. It is an indolent (slow-growing) type of lymphoma.

Reticulosarcoma involving lymph nodes of head face and neck
Reticulosarcoma involving intrathoracic lymph nodes
Reticulosarcoma involving intra-abdominal lymph nodes
Reticulosarcoma involving lymph nodes of axilla and upper limb
Reticulosarcoma involving lymph nodes of inguinal region and lower limb
Reticulosarcoma involving intrapelvic lymph nodes
Reticulosarcoma involving spleen
Reticulosarcoma involving lymph nodes of multiple sites
Lymphosarcoma
- malignant lymphoma in which neoplastic cells diffusely infiltrate the entire lymph node without any definite organized pattern; patients whose lymphomas present a diffuse pattern generally have a more unfavorable survival outlook than those presenting with a follicular or nodular pattern.
- An obsolete term for a malignant tumor of lymphatic tissue.
- A lymphoblastic lymphoma composed of immature small to medium-sized lymphoid cells (lymphoblasts). It includes the precursor B- and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.
- A non-Hodgkin lymphoma composed of monomorphic small, round B-lymphocytes in the lymph nodes. When the lymphoid process predominantly involves the bone marrow and the peripheral blood it is called chronic lymphocytic leukemia. (WHO, 2001)

Burkitt's tumor or lymphoma
- form of undifferentiated malignant lymphoma usually found in central Africa, but also reported in other parts of the world; commonly manifested as a large osteolytic lesion in the jaw or as an abdominal mass; B-cell antigens are expressed on the immature cells that make up the tumor in virtually all cases of Burkitt lymphoma; the Epstein-Barr virus (human herpesvirus 4) has been isolated from Burkitt lymphoma cases in Africa and it is implicated as the causative agent in these cases, however, most non-African cases are EBV-negative.
- A type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that most often occurs in young people aged 12-30 years. The disease usually causes a rapidly growing tumor in the abdomen.
- A rare, fast-growing cancer of the blood. Also called B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
- A highly aggressive lymphoma composed of monomorphic medium-sized B-cells with basophilic cytoplasm and numerous mitotic figures. It is often associated with the presence of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and is commonly seen in AIDS patients. Three morphologic variants are recognized: classical Burkitt lymphoma, Burkitt lymphoma with plasmacytoid differentiation, and atypical Burkitt/Burkitt-like lymphoma. All cases express the MYC translocation [t(8;14)]. (WHO, 2001)
- The leukemic counterpart of Burkitt's lymphoma. The characteristic Burkitt cells are seen in the bone marrow and the peripheral blood. This is an aggressive leukemia.

Other named variants of lymphosarcoma and reticulosarcoma
- malignant (clonal) proliferation of B- or T- lymphocytes which involves the lymph nodes, bone marrow and/or extranodal sites; general term for various neoplastic diseases of the lymphoid tissue.
- (lim-FO-ma) Cancer that arises in cells of the lymphatic system.
- A malignant (clonal) proliferation of B- lymphocytes or T- lymphocytes which involves the lymph nodes, bone marrow and/or extranodal sites. This category includes Non-Hodgkin lymphomas and Hodgkin lymphomas.
- An antiquated term referring to non-Hodgkin lymphomas with a mixed cellular composition. This term applies to both B- and T- cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
