1 Lymphoma Most present as tumor Involving lymph nodes or other lymphoid organs such as the spleen. But extra nodal presentation may seen. Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. 2.Non - Hodkin’s Lymphoma; Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are classified as low- or high-grade tumours on the basis of their proliferation rate. High-grade tumours divide rapidly, are typically present for a matter of weeks before diagnosis, and may be life-threatening. • Low-grade tumours divide slowly, may be present for many months before diagnosis, and typically behave in an indolent fashion.

3 Histological WHO classification
1-CLASSICAL HL Subtype Frequency Features Nodular sclerosis 70% Young adult only, more in women may have large mediastinal masses which are surprisingly asymptomatic, Mixed cellularity 20% More abnormal RS cells ,broad diagnostic group. Lymphocyte predominant 5% Younger pts., rare RS cells, many lymphocyte. Evidence of B lymphoid origin. Usually stage I / II Lymphocyte depleted Rare Numerous RS and other atypical cells. 2- NODULAR LP HL is now clearly recognized to be indolent NHL 5%

4 Clinical features There is painless, rubbery lymphadenopathy, usually in the neck or supraclavicular fossae; the lymph nodes may flucuate in size(wax an wan). Hepatosplenomegaly may be present but does not always indicate disease in those organs. Spread is contiguous from one node to the next and extranodal disease, such as bone, brain or skin involvement, is rare.

6 Investigations FBC may be normal. If a normochromic, normocytic anaemia or lymphopenia is present, this is a poor prognostic factor. An eosinophilia or a neutrophilia may be present. • ESR may be raised. • Renal function tests are required to ensure function is normal prior to treatment. • Liver function may be abnormal in the absence of disease or may reflect hepatic infiltration. An obstructive pattern may be caused by nodes at the porta hepatis. LDH measurements showing raised levels are an adverse prognostic factor. • Chest X-ray may show a mediastinal mass. • CT scan of chest, abdomen and pelvis permits staging. Bulky disease (> 10 cm in a single nodemass) is an adverse prognostic feature. • Lymph node biopsy may be undertaken surgically or by percutaneous needle biopsy under radiological guidance

7 Management 1-chemotherapy;
The ABVD regimen (doxorubicin,vinblastine,bleomycin and dacarbazine) *cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, due to doxorubicin and bleomycin respectively. 2-radiotherapy * The majority of HL patients are now treated with chemotherapy and adjunctive radiotherapy. * Early-stage patients usually includes additional treatment with radiotherapy to the involved lymph nodes after four courses of ABVD. * Advanced-stage disease are most commonly managed with chemotherapy alone. 6–8 cycles of ABVD. * Patients with disease which is resistant to therapy may be considered for autologous HSCT. * Treatment response is assessed clinically and by repeat CT and newer (scanning modalities such as positron emission tomography (PET

8 Prognosis

9 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) represents a monoclonal proliferation of lymphoid cells of B cell (70%) or T cell (30%) origin.

10 working formulation for lymphoma classification
Low grade : diffuse small lymphocytic. follicular small cleaved cell. follicular mixed small and large cell. Intermediate grade : diffuse small cleaved cell. diffuse small and large cell. diffuse large cell lymphoma. follicular large cell lymphoma. High grade : immunoblastic lymphoma. small non cleaved cell (Burkitt-type). lymphoblastic lymphoma. A B

11 LYMPHOMA Non - Hodgkin’s disease Hodgkin’s disease More random spread
Orederly spread by contiguity Extranodal presentation rare Systemic symptoms, prognostic importance Involve central and axial L.N. but rarely mesenteric or lymphoid tissue of waldeyer’s ring (oro-naso-pharynx) Single disease in terms of classical treatment: cure possible of all types of stages. More random spread Extranodal sites in unfavorable lesions Systemic symptoms less common More frequent involvement of peripheral and mesenteric L.N. waldeyer’s ring Multiple diseases (at least two) clinically, cure rare in low grade types.

12 Clinical presentation
1- most pt present with one or several enlarge painless LN. cervical, inguinal and axillary's nods are most frequently involved. Hepatosplenomegaly may be present 2- 1/5-1/3 of pt with intermediate and high grade lymphoma present in extra nodal site such as waldeyers ring, GIT, skin, salivary gland, bone. 3- compression syndromes may occur, gut obstruction, ascites, superior vena caval obstruction and spinal cord compression. 4 - BM involvement in high grade 10% and % in low grade. 5- T cell lymphoma are usually first diagnosed in the skin lead to cutaneous T cell lymphoma (sezary syndrome), erthro-derma and circulating lymphoma cells with hyper convoluted nuclei. **The same staging system is used for both HL and NHL, but NHL is more likely to be stage III or IV at presentation.

13 Investigations Same as HD inaddition; 1-Bone marrow aspiration and trephine. • 2-Immunophenotyping of surface antigens to distinguish T from B cell tumours. 3-Cytogenetic analysis to detect chromosomal translocations. 4-Immunoglobulin determination. 5- Measurement of uric acid levels. 6- HIV testing.

14 Treatment Low grade NHL |: High-grade NHL *Prognosis
A symptomatic pts may not require treatment Radiotherapy : for stage I disease. Chemotherapy : oral therapy with chlorambucil. The anti-CD20 antibody rituximab. * Rituximab (R) in combination with cyclophosphamide, vincristine and prednisolone (R-CVP). **Transplantation. High-grade NHL *Prognosis Chemotherapy; R-CHOP Radiotherapy HSCT
