Abstract:
Cancer among children is relatively uncommon, with approximately 1 in 7,000 children 0 to 14 years of age being newly diagnosed each year in the United States, and Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas constitute 10-15% of all childhood cancers in the more developed countries, after acute leukemias and brain tumors. The diagnosis of lymphoma frequently involves otolaryngologists that play also an important role in the its management. A high index of suspicion for lymphoma as a cause of complaints in the head and neck region can lead an early diagnosis and improved outcome for lymphomas. This article reviews the epidemiology, presentation, diagnosis, staging, treatment and prognosis of Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in children.

Secondary Lymphoid Organs
The spleen is a vital organ in the lymphatic system, nestled in the upper left side of the abdomen. It is composed of two primary regions: the red pulp and the white pulp, each having distinct functions. The red pulp performs a significant role in blood filtration. It efficiently purges the blood of old or damaged red blood cells and...
