The large-cell lymphomas have large cells. One classification system for lymphomas divides the diseases according to the size of the white blood cells that have turned cancerous. A large cell, in this context, has a diameter of 17 to 20 μm.[1] Other groups of lymphomas in this system are the small-cell lymphomas and mixed-cell lymphomas.
