Lymphoma cells. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of lymphoma cancer cells grown in culture. Lymphoma is a malignant (cancerous) growth of white blood cells (lymphocytes). White blood cells are part of the body's immune system and circulate in a clear liquid called lymph. There are many types of lymphoma depending on the cells affected. All lymphomas however,are divided into 2 types,Hodgkin's lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterised by the presence of Reed-Sternburg cells,a giant type of macrophage. All other lymphomas are non- Hodgkin's. The cause of lymphomas are not known. Magnification: x700 when printed 10 centimetres tall | |
