ABSTRACT
Lymphomas constitute a heterogeneous group of neoplastic diseases of the lymphatic system. Between all the varieties of malignancies, lymphomas show problems and special opportunities for the diagnosis and detections. The existence of numerous histologic subtypes and the similarity of malignant lymphocytes with the normal lymphocytes in their distinct stages of differentiation and activation, had led to the development of sophisticated diagnosti methods to assist the morphology in the recognition of them. Special considerations are made about the non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and the Epstein-Barr virus. The author also details the classification, the treatment and the epidemiology.
