“…Most of the NHLs originate from B cells, and the majority of patients express the CD20 antigen [ 2 , 3 ]. Considering the tumor activity, some of the NHLs are indolent malignancies with a lower tumor grade, while some NHLs are very aggressive [ 1 ]. NHLs are usually present at the age of 42, and the prevalence of the disease increases with age [ 4 ].…”

Non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (NHLs) are a group of lymphoproliferative diseases that originate from different cell types, namely B cells, T cells, or natural killer cells. Herein, we report the case of a 69-year-old male patient who presented with a gradual-onset, intermittent, low-grade fever for four months and a right-sided neck lump for two months. On examination, a right-sided enlarged lymph node sized 1 × 1 cm 2 was noted, which was mobile, hard in consistency, and non-tender. No other lymphadenopathy was noted in other parts of the body. Imaging and biochemical studies done at the initial stages did not reveal features in favor of any lymphoproliferative disorders, and the two lymph node biopsies done two weeks apart were inconclusive as well. An extended panel of investigations was done in view of excluding other infective and inflammatory pathologies, which was negative, making the patient undiagnosed of any disease state despite being symptomatic for four months. Finally, the third lymph node biopsy tested positive, which paved the way for the diagnosis of NHL. This diagnosis underlines the importance of this case. Following the diagnosis, the patient was initiated on a few chemotherapeutic agents, after which a mild symptomatic improvement was achieved.

“…In recent years, better clinical, pathological, and genetic statistics have assisted developments in lymphoma classification reflected in the WHO revision of 2016. [ 1 ] This acknowledges more than 40 mature B-cell neoplasms as well as more than 25 mature T-cell and natural killer (NK)-cell neoplasms. [ 2 ] The fourth most common childhood cancer and higher incidence in adolescents is non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).…”

“…Over the last three decades, there has been persistent evidence of an increase in the incidence of NHL. [ 1 ] Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (about 30% of all NHL subtypes) and follicular lymphoma (about 20%) are by far the most common in developed countries, and the prevalence of all other NHL subtypes is less than 10%. [ 3 ] NHL is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, trailing only breast, lung, colorectal, and bladder cancer.…”

B-lymphoblastic lymphoma is more slow-growing than T-LL and can be found in the skin, bone, or lymph nodes. Lymphoblastic lymphoma can be spread all over the body parts, including the brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid), in a male to the testes. It is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Children are most affected by lymphoblastic lymphoma and about 35% of all NHLs in children. Here, we report a 2-year and 6-month-old male child was brought with complaints of swelling in the right testicular region in the last 6 days. The patient was alright 6 months back when he developed swelling in the temporal region, sudden in onset and not associated with pain. The further clinical investigation with hematological and radiological aids confirmed a final diagnosis of non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoblastic lymphoma.
