Clinical Classification Guidelines
Medical Intelligence & Overview
Other non-follicular lymphoma is a type of lymphoma, which is a cancer that begins in the lymphatic system—the part of your immune system that helps fight infection. Unlike follicular lymphoma, which arises from follicle center B-cells, non-follicular lymphomas originate from different B-cell types.

These lymphomas can develop in various extranodal (outside the lymph nodes) and solid organ sites, including the gastrointestinal tract, skin, or other organs outside the lymphatic system. Various factors influence its development, detection, and management.
