1
In this video, I will explain almost everything that you need to know about lymphomas.
2
So, as a brief overview, lymphomas are a heterogeneous group of malignancies that arise from clonal perforation of B cells,
3
T cells, and K cells at various stages of maturation.
4
Not to make it sound stupid or to dumb it down too much, but lymphocyte cancers equal lymphomas.
5
And so, if you understand the basic immunology and physiology of a lymphocyte,
6
it makes understanding lymphomas much more easy to understand.
7
So, I would encourage you, before you view this video, make sure that you understand the basics about all your different types of lymphocytes.
8
Now, lymphomas may arise from lymph nodes or extranodal tissue.
9
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are much more common than Hodgkin lymphoma.
10
And if this is your first time learning about lymphomas, settle down because we will talk about the difference and the different types of lymphomas that fall into different categories.
11
So don't worry about this distinction just yet.
12
Note though that lymphomas arise most commonly from chromosomal translocations and or associations with various infections and more on that to come.
13
So broadly, when we talk about lymphoma, we separate them into two categories.
14
One category shown on the left is Hodgkin lymphoma or HL.
15
The other category shown on the right is non-Hodgkin lymphoma or NHL.
16
And this distinction is made pretty much by the presence of something called a Reed-Sternberg cell.
17
So, if there's a Reed-Sternberg cell, you're dealing with a Hodgkin lymphoma.
18
If there's no Reed-Sternberg cell, and alternatively, if you're mostly looking at lymphoid cells, then you're dealing with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
19
Reed-Sternberg cells are very important to know what they look like.
20
You will see this image either on your in-class exams or on step one or level one.
21
These are large binucleate, sometimes referred to as,
22
quote, allied giant lymphocytes that have eosinophilic nuclei and a lot of cytoplasm.
23
So stare at this image, burn this image into your brain.
24
This is a Reed Sternberg cell.
25
You have to know what this looks like because if the test writer shows you this picture, you have to infer that you're dealing with a type of Hodgkin lymphoma.
26
So when it comes to Hodgkin lymphoma, there are both classical and non-classical subtypes of Hodgkin lymphoma.
27
When it comes to non-Hodgkin lymphoma, we generally separate these into B-cell and T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
28
Now I want to pause for a second.
29
If you're watching this video because you are taking USMLE or Comlex,
30
the majority, I I would say 90% or more of your questions will come from the right hand part of this slide.
31
You need to know the non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
32
The B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas include Burkitt lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma,
33
mantle cell lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, and primary CNS lymphoma.
34
The T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma includes adult T-cell lymphoma and mycosis fungoides.
35
If you're watching this video, again, solely because you want to do well on step one or level one, this is what you need to understand.
36
And I'm not even going to bother talking about the different types of Hodgkin lymphoma, although I will type them out for completeness sake.
37
So this video will focus on the right hand part, the non-Hodgkin lymphomas, because that is 90%,
38
if not more, of all of the questions that you'll get on step one or level one.
39
So, let's go through these one at a time.
40
We'll talk about all the different types of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, and then at the end of this video, I'll talk about the clinical presentation,
41
the difference between Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin clinically, and then some associated syndromes that you need to know for USMLE and COMLEX.
42
So we'll begin with Burkitt lymphoma.
43
This is more common in children and young adults.
44
It is due to a chromosomal translocation 814.
45
This is a reciprocal translocation where the CMYK gene on eight and the heavy chain IG locus on 14 are involved.
46
So what happens here is after this translocation, you have increased activity of CMYK,
47
which is a proto-oncogene that increases transcription factors, which increases transcription.
48
So you have an increase in aerobic glycolysis and subsequent cell growth.
49
And that's how this cancer forms.
50
You have increased cell growth.
51
Now, Burkitt lymphoma is divided into several subtypes.
52
You have endemic, sporadic, and immunodeficiency.
53
On your exam, the one that you want to know is endemic.
54
This is associated with EBV.
55
It occurs most often in Africa and South America.
56
It classically involves the maxillary and mandibular area.
57
And this occurs predominantly in areas where there is malaria.
58
And what happens here is that malaria decreases one's resistance to EBV, and therefore EBV is associated with Burkitt lymphoma.
59
Know for completeness sake, of course, that we have a sporadic subtype where the abdomen and pelvis is involved.
60
This actually is the most common subtype, but on your exam, chances are the exam writer is going to go after endemic, and I'll tell you why in just a moment.
61
And then lastly, there's an immunodeficiency subtype, which is associated with HIV and patients who are post-transplant.
62
Again, if you're just taking USMLE or Comlex, you got to know endemic.
63
And the reason you need to know that is because the maxillary
64
and mandibular involvement has a classical image that looks like this.
65
So if you see this image, you have to know Burkitt lymphoma.
66
This image equals Burkitt lymphoma.
67
So again, if you're looking at this slide, endemic, highest yield, second highest yield,
68
immunodeficiency, third highest yield, which interestingly enough happens to be the most common, but on exams, not that important.
69
So what I want you to take away so far, Burkitt lymphoma equals 814 translocation,
70
increased activity of CMYK, endemic subtype associated with EBV in areas of the world where malaria is present
71
because that decreases one's resistance to EBV.
72
And this image equals Burkitt lymphoma because this is the endemic subtype that involves the face.
73
Now histologically you're going to see something called a starry sky pattern and this has become quite a hot buzzword.
74
If you see starry sky, the answer is Burkitt lymphoma.
75
Now the description that you could see are tangible body-laden macrophages with phagocytized tumor cells that may or may not show up,
76
but starry sky is the buzzword that gets thrown around all the time.
77
So know that that equals Burkitt lymphoma.
78
Now there are two mnemonics that I can offer you that might help you on your exam.
79
When I think Burkitt lymphoma, I think Burk-8 lymphoma instead of Burk-it.
80
So Burk-it, Burk-8.
81
And that cues my brain that I'm dealing with an 814 chromosomal translocation because unfortunately,
82
sometimes the exam writer wants you to pick the chromosomal translocation associated with whatever lymphoma they're describing.
83
And because you have all of these translocations, as you'll see as I go through this video, it's kind of difficult to memorize.
84
Luckily, I have a mnemonic for almost all of these.
85
And then lastly, you can remember the E's with Burkitt lymphoma.
86
E for endemic, E associated with EBV, and E for eating, which reminds me of that facial involvement.
87
E, endemic, EBV, eating.
88
The most important thing from this slide again though is Burkate lymphoma, 8, 814, translocation.
89
Now let's talk about diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
90
This is most common, this is the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults.
91
And this one is the one where you don't need to memorize a chromosomal translocation
92
because it's due to a mutation in BCL2, BCL8, and P53.
93
Now just recall, we won't go too deep into this, but recall that BCL2 is a proto-oncogene gene that is involved in apoptosis regulation.
94
BCL-6 is a transcriptional repressor that regulates cell maturation.
95
And P53 is a tumor suppressor gene.
96
So when you mutate these things, obviously, you're going to affect cell function, cell division, cell regulation.
97
And when you have that at an unchecked level, you get cancer.
98
And that's what you're dealing with here.
99
Now, luckily, there's not a whole lot you need to memorize for exams.
100
When I think DLBL for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, DLBL, that kind of sounds like BCL.
101
There's a lot of L's and B's and it doesn't rhyme, but it almost rhymes.
102
DLBL, BCL.
103
And that just, you know, in my brain makes the association that with DLBL, we're dealing with things like BCL2 and BCL6.
104
And if you can take that one step further, perhaps you can memorize P53.
105
But if that doesn't seem worthwhile to memorize, you know, if you're cramped for brain space, or you're just like, dude,
106
I can't memorize anything that I don't 100% need to know that's super high yield, then just move right on to follicular lymphoma.
107
Follicular lymphoma is the most common low-grade B-cell lymphoma.
108
It is due to a chromosomal translocation between 14 and 18.
109
So you have the heavy chain IG on 14 and BCL2 on 18.
110
And what happens is when you translocate, then you have BCL2 increasing or overexpressing its product.
111
And when that happens, you have decreased apoptosis, which prolongs cell survival.
112
Anytime you pathologically prolong cell survival, you get subsequent malignant progression.
113
So that's follicular lymphoma.
114
Now, histologically, you need to know that there's going to be the presence of something called centricites.
115
These centricites have small cleaved nuclei.
116
Occasionally, they might really throw you a curveball and give you a centroblast.
117
Centroblasts are large lymphocytes, but do not have the cleaving.
118
So if you see either of these terminologies, centrocyte or centroblast, think follicular lymphoma.
119
If you see small cleaved nuclei, think follicular lymphoma.
120
Now, when I think of follicular lymphoma, the way that I've always memorized 14-18 translocation is follicular 14.
121
14 begins with F, follicular 14.
122
Keep it simple because this is the only translocation where the first number in the translocation is 14.
123
Now let's talk about mantle cell lymphoma.
124
This is most common in adult males, and this is due to a chromosomal translocation between 11 and 14.
125
Pause for a second.
126
I just told you in follicular lymphoma, no other translocation had 14 as the first number, but here you see 14 as the second number.
127
So just keep that straight in your brain.
128
This involves cyclin D1 on 11 and the heavy chain IG on 14.
129
When you increase the activity pathologically of cyclin D1,
130
you increase replication because you're essentially going through into S phase more than you should.
131
This increases cell proliferation, and we have pathological malignant progression.
132
Now, usually when it comes to mantle cell lymphoma,
133
this spreads pretty rapidly, so it unfortunately generally gets diagnosed when it's already reached an advanced stage.
134
But for USMLE or COMLEX, you really just need to know the chromosomal translocation, not a whole lot of other high yield details.
135
That's mantle cell lymphoma.
136
I have a mnemonic for you, but we'll come back to it after we talk about marginal zone lymphoma.
137
So marginal zone lymphoma is due to a chromosomal translocation between 11 and 18.
138
Now, occasionally they'll write out something after the 1118 translocation
139
and it might say q21 q21 don't worry about
140
that this is an 1118 translocation that's what you need to know
141
if you're studying for boards now marginal zone lymphoma is very high yield
142
because it is associated with autoimmune inflammation
143
and something called a gastric malt lymphoma now this confuses medical students
144
so let's just say what malt is malt m-a-l-t stands for mucosa associated lymphoid tissue
145
and basically in certain mucosal tissues there's this submucosal lining and
146
that that material is actually lymphoid it serves a lymph function
147
and so in this instance gastric malt lymphoma is a lymphoma specifically associated
148
with that mucosal associated lymphoid tissue in the stomach so
149
because of that it is highly associated with h pylori gastritis
150
so in patients who have h pylori infections
151
and h pylori gastritis there's some connection between that inflammation and
152
that malt tissue becoming cancerous
153
and the important thing to know is one there's the simple
154
association where gastric lymphoma is a type of marginal zone lymphoma and it's associated with H pylori, but what's high yield to know,
155
especially if you're taking step two, level two and beyond, is that this lymphoma actually may remit if the H pylori is treated.
156
So that's high yield for step two, level two, and beyond.
157
For step one, level one, just know that gastric malt lymphoma is a subtype of marginal zone lymphoma in
158
that mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue in the stomach connected somehow to H pylori inflammation.
159
As far as the autoimmune association goes, marginal zone lymphoma is associated with Hashimoto thyroiditis and Sjogren's syndrome.
160
So this is a really tricky opportunity where the test writer can start you off on a question
161
that maybe gives you labs or buzzwords that have to do with thyroiditis or Sjogren.
162
And then they'll ask you which of the following is the patient at increased risk for?
163
And the answer is going to be marginal zone lymphoma.
164
So you're going to have to connect lymphoma with these and more endocrine rheumatological diseases.
165
Now the mnemonic for both marginal and mantle, because if we go back to mantle,
166
mantle starts the chromosomal translocation starts with 11 and in marginal it also starts with 11.
167
These are the only two translocations that begin with 11.
168
And so what I want you to think about when you think about 11 is if you've ever seen stranger things.
169
There's a character named Eleven, and Eleven is played by Millie Bobby Brown.
170
Millie beginning with M, so both mantle and marginal begin with M.
171
Both mantle and marginal begin with Eleven in their translocation.
172
So I associate Millie the M in Millie Bobby Brown with the character that she plays Eleven and the two chromosomal translocations.
173
Now let's talk about primary CNS lymphoma.
174
And I want to point out that depending on the textbook
175
that you read or the lecturer that teaches you at your school,
176
this technically is a subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma,
177
but it kind of gets carved out because it's its own thing.
178
So what you need to know for your exams is that primary CNS lymphoma is associated with EBV and HIV AIDS.
179
Now EBV infection may be required for pathogenesis in immunocompromised individuals.
180
So it's not like it's associated necessarily with one or the other.
181
It is highly associated with both EBV and HIV AIDS almost concurrently.
182
And what you see here is a neuropsychiatric presentation.
183
That is important to know.
184
What I think is even more high yield for USMLE or COMLEX is being able to do a differential diagnosis between toxoplasmosis,
185
CNS lymphoma, abscess, and metastasis.
186
And I've tried as best as I can to simplify this for you, but admittedly, it's not an exact science and the test writer is going to try to trick you.
187
But when it comes to looking at these differentials,
188
the reason that you need to know this is because these all cause ring enhancing lesions in the brain.
189
So you're going to be taking your exam.
190
They're going to give you the results of imaging, and there's going to be one or more ring enhancing lesions.
191
And then they're going to ask you which of the following is responsible for this presentation.
192
And all four of these things are going to be potential answer choices.
193
And so how you can think about this, and again, not an exact science, so this isn't a 100% way to get this correct.
194
But in general, you can think about someone's immunocompromised or not status and then other associations.
195
So with CNS lymphoma, chances are on the exam, the patient's going to be immunocompromised because again, it's associated with HIV AIDS.
196
There is a chance that they will give you a patient with autoimmune disease.
197
And if the test writer really wants you to pick CNS lymphoma, they're going to tell you that the patient was tried on treatment for toxoplasmosis,
198
but failed that treatment.
199
Some people think that when it's a solitary or single ring enhancing lesion, that the answer is CNS lymphoma.
200
And that's not really helpful on exams anymore because they can give you one and it could still be an answer choice.
201
That's not CNS lymphoma, or they could give you multiple and you just don't know.
202
Toxoplasmosis chances are on the exam, the patient will be immunocompromised because that's associated with HIV AIDS.
203
On the exam, if the test writer wants you to pick toxo,
204
they're very likely going to give you associated risk factors or exposures to things like cat feces, raw meat, or goat's milk.
205
So your classic buzzwords associated with toxo.
206
They don't have to, but generally they do.
207
If the test writer wants you to pick an abscess, you can't go by the immunostatus because the patient could be immunocompromised or immunocompetent,
208
what they will give you in most instances is
209
that the patient had a recent infection
210
and it's the entry of the pathogen through that infectious route that leads eventually to the abscess.
211
Lastly, for metastasis, chances are on the exam, the patient will be immunocompetent.
212
So they're not, they're very unlikely to have HIV AIDS on your exam.
213
And if If they want you to pick metastasis on the exam, they will either give you that there are multiple ring enhancing lesions.
214
Although again, solitary versus multiple doesn't really necessarily tell you metastasis, but metastasis is usually multiple lesions.
215
And usually they will either give you the cancer history or insinuate very strongly that the patient has a history of cancer.
216
So again, not a complete science, but as far as differentiating CNS lymphoma versus toxo versus abscess versus metastasis.
217
This is a very broad way to conceptualize this.
218
Now let's talk about mycosis fungoides.
219
So to be clear, we've talked about the B-cell lymphomas, and now we're moving into the few T-cell lymphomas that you need to know.
220
Mycosis fungoides is the most common low-grade T-cell lymphoma.
221
It involves malignant CD4 plus T-cell infiltration of the skin.
222
So because of that, the clinical presentation is pretty unique.
223
You see patches, plaques, and nodules.
224
So a lot of dermatological findings.
225
And what you will see described are cesare cells.
226
Now cesare cells, you see an image here, they have cerebriform nuclei.
227
That is a very hot buzzword.
228
Don't worry about the term cesare cell, no cerebriform nuclei.
229
You can also see So basically that is a fancy way of saying that in the epidermis,
230
there's aggregations of cells and those are called, I may be butchering the pronunciation here, potriae micro abscesses.
231
If mycosis fungoides involves the blood, it is termed Cesare syndrome.
232
So that is a leukemic form of mycosis fungoides.
233
So high yield to know that this T cell lymphoma has, it basically can be leukemia because it can involve the blood.
234
It can progress to that form.
235
Now let's wrap up by talking about adult T cell lymphoma.
236
So this is neoplastic proliferation of mature CD4 plus T cells.
237
What you need to know when it comes to adult T cell lymphoma are its associations with HTLV-1 and IV drug abuse.
238
That's really important to know.
239
On your exam, if the test writer is going to give you a vignette or a presentation with adult T cell lymphoma,
240
they'll give you either the HTLV-1 or a history of IV drug abuse, and then they'll give you some labs and clinical findings.
241
The labs will be an elevated lactate dehydrogenase, elevated calcium level, and all the symptoms that come with that,
242
hepatosplenomegaly, and of course, because we're dealing with lymphoma, likely they'll give you lymph adenopathy.
243
So know the elevated calcium and the elevated LDH.
244
Of course, know all of your symptoms of hypercalcemia, in particular, those lytic or punched out lesions.
245
Now, we've just gone through a number of different lymphomas this
246
is sort of the summary of how this looks clinically
247
so clinically you really can't distinguish hodgkin versus non-hodgkin lymphomas on the basis of symptoms
248
because generally these present with what are known as b symptoms
249
fever night sweats unintentional weight loss where you can differentiate these are what you see in age cells spread
250
and associations so in age Hodgkin lymphoma tends to be more bimodal
251
so young adults and those age 55
252
and older whereas non-Hodgkin lymphoma on your exam it's very likely the patient will be 55
253
or older but the risk increases with age the cells we already talked about really high yield to know
254
that Hodgkin you see Reed Sternberg cells non-Hodgkin you see lymphoid cells spread This is one
255
that can really help you get the answer correct
256
if the test writer describes clinical findings or physical exam findings or nodal findings.
257
And when I say nodal findings, I mean what lymph nodes are involved and where are they located on the body.
258
So in Hodgkin lymphoma, it's more localized.
259
The spread is contiguous, so it's kind of node to local node, and the prognosis is better.
260
In non-Hodgkin lymphoma, it tends to be more extranodal.
261
It's non-contiguous, so it's not really localized, and for these reasons, the prognosis is worse.
262
Associations, Hodgkin tends to be more associated with immunosuppression and EBV,
263
although clearly, we've talked about immunosuppression and EBV in non-Hodgkin, so this is one that you can't really go off this to get the answer correct.
264
In non-Hodgkin, we're dealing with chromosomal translocations, very high yield, as I pointed out, autoimmunity, and not only EBV,
265
but also things like HTLV1 and HIV.
266
This is your high yield clinical summary.
267
Now, I want to finish this video by talking about some associated clinical syndromes.
268
These include tumor lysis syndrome and superior vena cava syndrome.
269
And so on your exam, the test rater might give you findings of these syndromes because these syndromes are associated with lymphomas.
270
Now, to be clear, it's not just limited to lymphomas these findings, these syndromes are also associated with other malignancies,
271
but I'll include them here because they do tend to show up
272
and they can get lumped in with the big package of symptoms that you'll get on your exam.
273
So tumor lysis syndrome is a syndrome that occurs after cytotoxic tumor cell destruction.
274
So let's just simplify this.
275
You've got a tumor cell, the patient gets treated, the tumor cell explodes and it releases its intracellular components.
276
It is the release of those intracellular components that causes tumor lysis syndrome.
277
The big three are phosphate, potassium, and nucleic acids.
278
Now, with an increased phosphate, phosphate will bind up all the free calcium and cause calcium phosphate crystals.
279
With potassium, increased levels of potassium alter the resting membrane potential, which can cause cardiac arrhythmia.
280
And with nucleic acids, these get converted to uric acid, which causes hyperuricemia.
281
Now, what you'll see on your exam, of course, on the left here, we've got our lab findings.
282
And on the right, we have some associated clinical features.
283
On the left, we deal, like I said, increased levels of phosphate, increased potassium, increased nucleic acids,
284
and by extension, increased uric acid, and decreased free calcium.
285
Again, that phosphate binds up the calcium, so you actually get hypocalcemia if you're looking at labs.
286
This can present very heterogeneously, so it's not just these symptoms, but I've included the big six, so to say.
287
So you could see cardiac arrhythmias from your elevated potassium.
288
Because of your calcium, you could see tetany, trosteic sign, trousseau sign.
289
You could have seizures and because of various pathways that ultimately cause kidney injury,
290
right, hyperuricemia and calcium phosphate crystals, you get obstructive uropathy.
291
So these are things you want to look for on your exam.
292
Each of these clinical findings will have third order findings and third order symptoms.
293
So tumor lysis syndrome, it's really a big thing that they could go after on USMLE or COMLEX.
294
Lastly, we have superior vena cava syndrome.
295
So as the name implies, this is a syndrome that occurs when the SVC is blocked or congested because the malignancy,
296
the cancer is locally kind of either pushing on that area
297
or metastasizing to that area or involving the blood flow through that area.
298
And so what you see are symptoms where you have decreased flow in that region.
299
So things like upper extremity and facial edema, jugular venous distension, orthostatic hypotension.
300
You can get neurological symptoms, including headache, difficulty with vision,
301
altered mental status, and things like renal failure and a host of ENT symptoms.
302
If you're looking at this now, I think tumor lysis syndrome is a lot more high yield than SVC syndrome, but both of these, again,
303
can be associated with lymphoma and other malignancies.
304
So that was a pretty long one.
305
A lot of good information that I think you should know for your exams.
306
Know the chromosomal translocations.
307
Know what a Reed-Sternberg cell looks like.
308
Know some of the more buzzy words in there.
309
But that is lymphoma.

Who Is This Video For?
This video is perfect for English learners ready to level up their english speaking practice while exploring academic topics. Whether you’re prepping for IELTS speaking practice or just want to sound more confident discussing complex ideas, the clear, conversational tone makes it ideal. It’s great for intermediate learners who want to mix science knowledge with language growth—you’ll pick up medical terms *and* everyday phrases that work in any conversation.
Words & Idioms Worth Stealing
Boost your vocabulary with standout phrases from the video:
- "Heterogeneous group" – A mix of different types (great for describing categories in essays or speeches).
- "Burn this image into your brain" – Remember something deeply (casual, impactful for everyday use).
- "Settle down" – Relax, don’t worry (perfect for calming someone or staying calm yourself).
- "Reciprocal translocation" – A specific scientific term, but the structure "reciprocal [noun]" works in other contexts (e.g., "reciprocal agreement").
How to Get the Accent Right
The speaker uses a clear, instructional tone with natural pauses—ideal for shadowspeak practice. Focus on:
- Stress on key terms: Words like "lymphomas," "Reed-Sternberg," and "translocation" get extra emphasis. Copy this to make your speech more engaging.
- Rhythm of explanations: Notice how the speaker slows down for complex ideas ("So, if there's a Reed-Sternberg cell...") and speeds up for simpler points. Mimic this to sound more natural.
- Casual contractions: "Don’t worry," "it’s" – these make your speech flow. Avoid over-pronouncing; keep it relaxed, like you’re chatting with a friend.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
