Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma is a rare type of Hodgkin lymphoma, which is a cancer of the immune system. It is marked by the presence of a type of cell called a popcorn cell, which is different from the typical Reed-Sternberg cell found in classical Hodgkin lymphoma. This type of Hodgkin lymphoma may change into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Also called NLPHL.
