The lymphoma, leukemia, and plasma cell myeloma are the common neoplastic disorders of the lymphoid tissues and the bone marrow. Leukemia is a kind of malignant neoplasm of the immature stem cells. This is characterized by the diffusion and replacement of the bone marrow with the neoplastic blasts. The lymphoma is characterized by the malignancy of the cells of the lymphoid tissues including B cells, T cells, and natural killer cells. It usually arises in the lymph nodes. The plasma cell myeloma occurs due to the malignant transformation of mature B cells that secrete antibodies.
