Mixed-cell lymphomas are lymphomas that have both large cells and small cells in them.[citation needed] This nomenclature is derived from an older system of pathology, before technological advances allowed much more precise descriptions of the affected cancerous cells.
In MeSH, the phrase "mixed-cell lymphoma" is currently classified under non-Hodgkin lymphoma.[1]
