    Lymphangiomatosis (LYMF) is a rare tumor resulting from abnormal lymphatic system development where a lymphangioma is present in a widespread rather than localized manner. Hodgkin's disease (HD) is a type of lymphoma, or blood cancer of the lymphatic system, that helps the immune system eliminate waste and fight infections. Lymphangitis is an inflammation of the lymphatic channels caused by a distal infection, most commonly by Streptococcus pyogenes, characterized by red skin, warmth, lymphadenitis, fever, pain and swelling.

    Lymphangiomatosis (LYMF) is a condition where a

    lymphangioma is not present in a single localised mass, but in a


    widespread or multifocal manner. It is a rare type of tumor which
    results from an abnormal development of the lymphatic system.
    Hodgkin’s disease (HD) is a type of lymphoma, which is a blood
    cancer that starts in the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system
    helps the immune system get rid of waste and fight infections. HD
    is also called Hodgkin disease, Hodgkin lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s
    lymphoma.

    Lymphadenitis is the medical term for inflamed and enlarged


    lymph nodes. It is usually due to an infection. Lymph nodes
    are filled with white blood cells that help your body fight
    infections. When lymph nodes become infected, it's usually
    because an infection started somewhere else in your body.

    Lymphangitis is an inflammation or an infection of the lymphatic


    channels that occurs as a result of infection at a site distal to the
    channel. The most common cause of lymphangitis in humans
    is Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A strep), although it can also be
    caused by the fungus Sporothrix schenckii. Lymphangitis is
    sometimes mistakenly called "blood poisoning". In reality, "blood
    poisoning" is synonymous with sepsis.

    Signs and symptoms include a deep reddening of the skin,


    warmth, lymphadenitis (inflammation of a lymphatic gland), and a
    raised border around the affected area. The person may also have
    chills and a high fever along with moderate pain and swelling. A
    person with lymphangitis should be hospitalized and closely
    monitored by medical professionals.

    Lymphedema, or lymphatic obstruction, is a long-term


    condition where excess fluid collects in tissues causing
    swelling (edema). The lymphatic system is a part of the
    circulatory system and vital for immune
    function. Lymphedema is caused by a blockage of this
    system. Lymphedema commonly affects one of the arms or
    legs.

    Lymphocytosis (lim-foe-sie-TOE-sis), or a high lymphocyte count, is


    an increase in white blood cells called lymphocytes. Lymphocytes
    are an important part of the immune system. They help fight off
    diseases, so it's normal to see a temporary rise in the number of
    lymphocytes after an infection.

    Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is a group of blood cancers that


    includes all types of lymphoma except Hodgkin's lymphomas.
    Symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats,
    weight loss and tiredness. ... Lymphomas are types of cancer that
    develop from lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell.
