The term "lymphoma" was originally used by Billroth in 1871 [55],
and by Virehow [763] some years before that, for the designation of
swelling of lymph nodes that was not due to "eareinoma, sareoma,
ehondroma, myxoma, ete. " In his paper, Billroth reeounted
sueeessful treatment with arsenie (" Fowler's solution") of
multiple "lymphomas" that had developed in a 40-year-old woman
during a 10-month period. From this report it is not entirely clear
if the multiple" lymphomas" deseribed were infeetious or if they
were eonsis- te nt with what we now mean by "malignant lymphoma. "
Today, the term "malignant lymphoma" is generally used eolleetively
for malignant lymphoproliferative neoplasms that tend to arise in
lymph nodes and also eneompasses Hodgkin's disease and
non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The adjeetive "malignant" seems somewhat
superfluous sinee, in addition to Bill- roth's original
eonnotation, the sense of malignaney is nowadays read into the word
"lymphoma. " To be sure, true, i. e. , malignant, lymphomas have to
be differentiated from "pseudolymphomas," or to put it more
exaetly, "pseudomalignant lymphomas. " In this book, "lymphoma" and
"malignant lymphoma" are used interehan- geably for malignant
neoplastie lymphoproliferative disorders, and "pseudo- lymphoma" is
used for benign lymphomatous proeesses. Our editorial eonsultant,
Dr. M. Leider, disagrees with all of this. In his Dictionary of
Dermatological Words, Terms, and Phrases [421] and other works, he
maintains that there is no etymologieal basis for words bearing the
eontrived suffix" -oma" or the true Greek suffix" -ma" to denote
malignaney.
