Non-Hodgkin lymphoma is a broad group of blood cancers that includes essentially all lymphomas other than Hodgkin lymphoma. It commonly presents with enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats, weight loss, and fatigue, though the specific pattern varies with the subtype. Some forms grow slowly over years while others progress quickly, and unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, this group does not share the single distinctive abnormal cell type used to define that disease.
