Detailed explanation-1: -All biopsy samples are looked at under a microscope by a pathologist (a doctor specially trained to recognize cancer cells), who will look for Hodgkin lymphoma cells (called Reed-Sternberg cells).
Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphatic system. Hodgkin disease (HD) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are the two types of lymphomas. HD also called Hodgkin lymphoma is distinguished by the presence of large abnormal cells, called Reed-Sternberg cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) cHL is diagnosed when certain abnormal lymphocytes, known as Reed-Sternberg cells, are found. cHL is divided into 4 subtypes, based on the appearance of the lymph node structure and cells: Nodular sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma.
Detailed explanation-4: -Reed–Sternberg cells (also known as lacunar histiocytes for certain types) are distinctive, giant cells found with light microscopy in biopsies from individuals with Hodgkin lymphoma. They are usually derived from B lymphocytes, classically considered crippled germinal center B cells.
