\"Lymph<\/a>What Are Extraintestinal Lymphomas?<\/h2>\n

E<\/span>xtraintestinal lymphomas (non-Hodgkin’s) are malignancies that arise in peripheral lymphatic tissue outside the intestinal tract from B-cell and T-cell lymphocytes.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> What is peripheral lymphatic tissue?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Peripheral lymphatic tissue includes\u00a0lymph vessels, lymph, lymph nodes, and lymphocytes.<\/p>\n

Lymph vessels\u00a0branch into all the\u00a0tissues\u00a0of the body, carrying\u00a0lymph, a clear fluid that contains\u00a0white blood cells, especially B-cell and T-cell\u00a0lymphocytes.<\/p>\n

Lymph vessels are connected to lymph nodes which are small, round masses of tissue that\u00a0store white blood cells. They also trap and remove\u00a0bacteria\u00a0or other harmful substances that may be in the lymph.\u00a0Groups of lymph nodes are found in the neck, underarms, chest,\u00a0abdomen, and\u00a0groin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ninety percent (90%) of extraintestinal lymphomas are B-cell type and ten percent (10%) are T-cell type. In this malignancy, lymph nodes are replaced by cancer cells. Some are more aggressive than others.<\/p>\n

In 2010, there were an estimated 509,065 people living with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the United States according to the National Cancer Institute.<\/span><\/p>\n
