Understanding Non-follicular (Diffuse) Lymphoma, Unspecified, Intrathoracic Lymph Nodes

Non-follicular (diffuse) lymphoma, unspecified, intrathoracic lymph nodes is a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help the body fight infections and diseases. The lymphatic system includes lymph nodes, spleen, thymus gland, bone marrow, and lymphatic vessels.

Non-follicular lymphoma is a type of cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. It is called non-follicular because it doesn't start in the follicle, which is the part of the lymph node where most lymphomas begin. Instead, non-follicular lymphoma starts in the lymphatic tissue outside the follicle.

Intrathoracic lymph nodes are lymph nodes located in the chest or thoracic area. When non-follicular lymphoma affects the intrathoracic lymph nodes, it can cause symptoms such as coughing, chest pain, shortness of breath, and difficulty swallowing.
