Abstract
Introduction: Hodgkin's and non-lymphomas Hodgkin's are malignant tumours of lymphoid tissue. Non-lymphomas Hodgkin's are a type of lymphoid tissue cancers that arise from T or B cells or their progenitors, and can be indolent or aggressive. B-cell lymphomas account for around 80% of all cases in the United States. Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, and primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma are all examples of Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Non-Lymphoma Hodgkin's is the sixth most prevalent malignancy in the United States, with incidence rates nearly doubling in the last 35 years. With each decade of life, the incidence rises; the median age upon diagnosis is 66. In India, the incidence rates in urban regions are many times higher than in rural areas, with the incidence being higher in metropolitan cities and among Indian immigrants, implying that urban lifestyles and economic advancement may boost cancer incidence. In 2010, NHL was projected to have caused roughly 0.36 million new cases and 0.19 million deaths.
 Case Presentation: A male patient of Two and half years from Shiwangaon MO, was admitted to Paediatric Ward, AVBRH on 31st May, 2021 with a known case of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma which was diagnosed itself at AVBRH on 31st May,2021. My patient was brought with a chief complain of swelling in the testicular region for 6 days. As narrated by the patient’s father, my patient was apparently alright 6 months back and then patient develop swelling in temporal region suddenly, associated with pain on touch, as the swelling develops more and uncomfortable, patient was brought immediately to AVBRH and was admitted in Paediatric Ward for further investigation.

Summary
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas are a type of cancers that develop when lymphoid tissue proliferates abnormally. Non-Lymphoma Hodgkin's is caused by malignant B lymphocytes in 85% of cases, while T lymphocytes are responsible for the remaining 15%. Unlike Hodgkin lymphoma, the lymphoid tissues are heavily invaded with cancerous cells [2]. Despite the lack of a common etiologic component, the incidence of NHL has increased among people with immunodeficiency or autoimmune illnesses, who have had cancer therapy, who have had an organ transplant, who have had viral infections, and who have been exposed to pesticides, solvents, dyes, or defoliating agents such as Agent Orange. Low-grade tumors have well-differentiated cells and a gradual disease progression, with death happening years later. Differentiated cells characterize high-grade lymphomas, which progress rapidly and result in mortality within weeks or months. Immunological deficit increases the risk of infection, and if the bone marrow or spleen is implicated, anaemia and leukopenia can occur in variable degrees [3]
