According to site: ✅Nodal lymphomas – found in the lymph nodes ✅Extranodal lymphoma – found in other tissue or organs
B-cell Lymphoma: Diffuse large B cell Lymphoma – most common and is aggressive Follicular lymphoma – indolent lymphoma, caused by translocation of Chromosome 14 and chromosome 18. causing blocked cell death. Burkitt lymphoma – highly aggressive lymphoma, from chromosal translocation. Increased cell division. Mantle cell Lymphoma- aggressive lymphoma, chromosomal translocation between 14 and 11. cell growth Marginal zone lymphoma – indolent lymphoma. ---Common type is Mucosa Associated Lymphoid tissue – lining of the stomach
