Follicular lymphoma, unspecified - what does this mean
Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-hodgkin's lymphoma that occurs when abnormal lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, accumulate in the body's lymph nodes and other organs. these abnormal cells are called follicular lymphoma cells. they can spread to other parts of the body, such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow, and can cause symptoms such as enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, and weight loss.
What happens during the disease - follicular lymphoma, unspecified
Follicular lymphoma is a type of non-hodgkin's lymphoma that affects the b-cells of the immune system. it is caused by a mutation in the b-cell receptor, which leads to uncontrolled growth and division of the b-cells in the lymph nodes and other parts of the body. this results in an accumulation of abnormal b-cells, which can spread to other organs and cause tumors. the exact cause of the mutation is unknown, but genetic and environmental factors are believed to play a role.
