📋Overview

Follicular Lymphoma is a slow-growing or indolent malignancy that arises from B-lymphocytes, which are a type of white blood cell. It is classified as a low-grade B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma and is characterized by the formation of nodular or follicular patterns within the lymph nodes.

This condition is distinguished from more aggressive lymphomas by its typically gradual progression. It involves the development of malignant cells that cluster in specific structures, reflecting a distinct pathological presentation within the lymphatic system.
