Causes Search form. Causes. The cause or causes of lymphoma are largely a mystery. There may be some genetic predisposition, or it may be caused by an environmental trigger such as pollution. There is not, however, sufficient evidence to provide a definitive answer.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and the Environment Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma and the Environment. Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas are a group of cancers that start in lymphoid tissue, also called lymph or lymphatic tissue. The causes of Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are mostly unknown. Specific viruses, immune deficiency, and specific autoimmune conditions have been implicated in increased risk. However, some environmental issues, including exposures to pesticides and solvents, are also being investigated.

What Causes Lymphoma? What causes lymphoma is not well known. DNA mutations may be what causes lymphoma to develop but what triggers these mutations is largely unknown. Family history does not provide much of a clue; except in the case of some rare forms, lymphoma does not appear to be linked to genetic inheritance.

- 1 Other causes include inflammation and cancers. There is a wide variety of infections from a strep throat or ear infection, to mononucleosis or HIV infection, which can cause swelling of lymph nodes.  Lymphoma and leukemia cause swelling of lymph nodes, and many cancers spread to lymph nodes.

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma The causes of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma are not well understood. Usually DLBCL arises from normal B cells, but it can also represent a malignant transformation of other types of lymphoma or leukemia. An underlying immunodeficiency is a significant risk factor.

About lymphoma What is lymphoma? Lymphoma occurs when lymphocytes (white blood cells that help to fight infection) become out of control. They divide in an abnormal way or do not die when they should. Healthy lymphocytes travel around your body in your lymphatic system, which is part of your immune system.

Lymphoma Symptoms Fatigue and listlessness can be symptoms of lymphoma. However, fatigue can also be a sign of nothing more than insufficient sleep or poor diet. However, persistent fatigue is something that should be checked out by a doctor. Even if it’s not caused by lymphoma, it may be a sign of another condition needing treatment.

Lymphadenopathy Less common infectious causes of lymphadenopathy may include bacterial infections such as cat scratch disease, tularemia, brucellosis, or prevotella. [citation needed] Tumoral: Primary: Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma give lymphadenopathy in all or a few lymph nodes.

Causes of Swollen Armpit Lymph Nodes Contact dermatitis, folliculitis or an armpit fungus may also develop on the skin of the axilla and cause swollen armpit lymph nodes. Systemic Causes. Systemic causes of lymph node enlargement may be involved in causing swelling of the axillary lymph nodes before more generalized lymph node involvement becomes apparent. These causes of axillary lymph node enlargement may include : Viral Infectious mononucleosis (Epstein-Barr virus) which produces symptoms of fever, sore throat and fatigue as well as enlarged lymph nodes.

Night sweats, usually 1  drenching. Pruritus, a generalized itching that may be severe.  Fatigue.

Glossary of HIV/AIDS-related Terms: Lymphoma is cancer that begins in infection-fighting cells of the immune system, called lymphocytes. These cells are in the lymph nodes, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, and other parts of the body. When you have lymphoma, lymphocytes change and grow out of control. There are two main types of lymphoma: Non-Hodgkin: Most people with lymphoma have this type.

Lymphoma Symptoms A lump at one of these sites does not necessarily indicate lymphoma. Swollen lymph nodes are more likely to be caused by infection than cancer. For example, swelling in the nodes of the neck is frequently linked to sinus infections. During infection, white blood cells (lymphocytes) flood the nodes. Swellings in the nodes of the armpits or abdomen need more immediate attention.

- Causes of Lymphopenia. Lymphopenia is a common side effect of chemotherapeutic and immunosuppressive drugs, as well as immunosuppression itself (e.g., AIDS). Some bone marrow malignancies also cause lymphopenia.o research the causes of Lymphopenia, consider researching the causes of these these diseases that may be similar, or associated with Lymphopenia: 1  Pancytopenia. 2  T lymphocytopenia. 3  B lymphocytopenia. 4  NK lymphocytopenia. 5  Chemotherapy.

Marginal Zone Lymphoma Lymphoma is the most common blood cancer. The two main forms of lymphoma are Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). Lymphoma occurs when cells of the immune system called lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, grow and multiply uncontrollably. Cancerous lymphocytes can travel to many parts of the body, including the lymph nodes, spleen, bone marrow, blood, or other organs, and form a mass called a tumor.

Some Possible Causes of Lymphoma These cells collect and become tumors, and tumors begin to rob the body of nutrients it needs to survive so that the tumor can use these resources for itself. This is a very basic explanation of the origins of cancer. The cause for that mutation is unknown. It may have a trigger, it may happen on its own.

Genetic predisposition is the main cause, but other causative agents such as long-term exposure to industrial or environmental metals, organic solvents, chemical carcinogens, pesticides and herbicides are also under consideration from the research community.

Some Possible Causes of Lymphoma If someone tells you that they can say with certainty what causes lymphoma in a particular person, you're best off ignoring everything else they have to say because, quite simply, nobody knows. However, some risk factors have been identified.

What Is Atypical Lymphocytosis? Atypical lymphocytosis is most commonly attributed to viral and bacterial illnesses. It can also be a result of some types of autoimmune disorders. Immunizations, drug reactions, and radiation or chemotherapy treatments can also cause elevated lymphocytes to become atypical.

- It is very likely that played a part . Chemical solvents such as acetone, alcohol (various alcohols, not just ethyl alcohol), toluene, xylene, turpentine, and benzene, are highly toxic and linked to lymphoma. Bob ross probably used a mixture of turpentine and something else as a paint thinner . He used to paint A LOT so given the fact that turpentine is carcenogenic inhaling its fumes will increase the odds of developing not only lung cancer , but also lymphoma and leukemia .

Feline Lymphoma 1 The FeLV virus has been shown to cause lymphoma and the FIV virus can predispose infected animals to develop lymphoma. 2  Second hand smoke is also known to cause gastrointestinal lymphoma in cats--the carcinogens from the smoke are thought to settle on cat's fur, and when the cat grooms itself, get ingested. Because lymphoma is a systemic disease, chemotherapy is the preferred treatment modality. 2  In selected cases, prior to the administration of chemotherapy, radiation therapy or surgery may be used to treat lymphoma localized to a defined site. 3  It is important to understand that lymphoma is not curable.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Risk Factors Infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is an important risk factor for Burkitt lymphoma in some parts of Africa. In developed countries such as the United States, EBV is more often linked with lymphomas in people also infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
