Hematopathology

Lymphomas are malignant proliferations of the lymphoid tissue, mainly of the lymph node; rarely, they can be extranodal (thymus, spleen, and mucosal associated lymphoid tissue - MALT lymphomas).

There are two major types of lymphomas :

  • Hodgkin's lymphoma
  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Leukemias are malignant proliferations of the hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow.
