MeSH Heading: Lymphoma, Follicular
Tree Number(s): C04.557.386.480.350; C15.604.515.569.480.350; C20.683.515.761.480.350
Unique ID: D008224
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D008224
Scope Note: Malignant lymphoma in which the lymphomatous cells are clustered into identifiable nodules within the LYMPH NODES. The nodules resemble to some extent the GERMINAL CENTER of lymph node follicles and most likely represent neoplastic proliferation of lymph node-derived follicular center B-LYMPHOCYTES.
