Abstract:
The association between autoimmunity and lymphoma is bidirectional: patients with autoimmune disorders have an increased risk of developing malignant lymphoma, and autoimmune symptoms occur in the context of malignant lymphoma much more often. The epidemic features, clinical characteristics,and biologic mechanisms that underlie this association have been investigated in many studies, and this review is focused on recent progresses in this area.
