Doctors may perform physical examinations at the suspected site of lymph node development. The following tests are performed to confirm the presence of<unk>  cells and the severity of disease.<unk>  may be difficult to diagnose as at least 10% of the patients are not diagnosed properly in local laboratories. Biopsy Biopsy is a common medical test involving removal of a patient's tissues or cells to determine the presence of disease via presence of abnormal cells in the body. Excisional biopsy is commonly performed to screen for<unk>  through the removal of the whole lymph node. Initial biopsy may be insufficient to conclude any results and doctors should perform medical tests on multiple sites for confirmation. The patient is given anaesthesia before the extraction of lymph nodes from the body. During the biopsy, blood tests are conducted to check the number of cells and to determine the most suitable treatment for the patient. PET and CT scans can help facilitate the process by pinpointing the location of the lymph node. After extraction, the tissue is processed and viewed under a microscope to examine the presence of<unk>  cells. Some of the characteristics of lymph nodes include: * Tumour cells with a clear nuclei and cytoplasm * Diffused pattern * Follicular variant * Neoplastic cells are CD3+ Bone marrow is the site of blood cell production. Bone marrow biopsy is used to show the extent of disease, known as staging in pathology. The process takes about 10-15 minutes, requiring the extraction of bone marrow samples from the hip bone to determine the presence of<unk>  cells in bone marrow.
