Abstract: Lymphoma is a kind of tumor that comes from lymphatic hematopoietic. According to the previous points of views, lymphoma is a kind of malignant tumor which proliferates monoclonally. The concept of “benign lymphoma” does not exist at present. In the clinical practice of recent years, we have found that some monoclonal lymphoid tissue lesions show benign biological behavior and their malignant potential is extremely limited and almost does not develop, so it presents a challenge to the concept of lymphoma and its diagnostic standard. Based on this, the author proposes the concept of “benign lymphoma” here for the first time in China, and discusses the possibility of its existence, so as to 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)55卷3期 -李文生.“良性淋巴瘤”概念的提出及其存在的可能性 \=-trigger the discussion on the biological essence of lymphoma.

Key words: Benign lymphoma, Clonality, Lymphoma, Biological essence
