Lymphoma comes from a type of immune cell called a lymphocyte, which is important in helping your body fight infection. The two main types of lymphocytes are B lymphocytes (B-cell) and T lymphocytes (T-cell), and each has a slightly different function in the immune system. Each can also give rise to different lymphomas.
Although they arise from different types of lymphocytes, B-cell and T-cell lymphomas are both types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL).
