Follicular lymphoma grade ii - what does this mean
Follicular lymphoma grade ii is a type of slow-growing non-hodgkin's lymphoma in which malignant b-lymphocytes grow in the lymph nodes and other organs, forming small, rounded masses called follicles. it is the second most common type of indolent (slow-growing) lymphoma and is usually seen in older adults.
What happens during the disease - follicular lymphoma grade ii
Follicular lymphoma grade ii is a type of non-hodgkin lymphoma (nhl) that occurs when abnormal b-cells, a type of white blood cell, accumulate in the body's lymph nodes. these abnormal b-cells are caused by a mutation in the b-cell's dna, which leads to the cells growing and dividing in an uncontrolled manner. over time, these cells can spread to other parts of the body, such as the spleen, bone marrow, and other organs, and can cause the affected person to have symptoms such as fatigue, fever, and night sweats. treatment for follicular lymphoma grade ii usually involves chemotherapy or radiation, depending on the severity of the case.
