If a person has more B-cell lymphes in lymph tissue than normal cells,could lymphoma occur later?

Initial biopsy stated "more B-cells than normal cells".Sent for further testing and showed due to autoimmune response. Is this possibly a precursor to lymphoma and should I watch for anything in the future?

I don't know the specific answer.


Here is a site with good info on that:

I had B cell Lymphoma, and there are good treatments out there if something goes wrong. Please don't be afraid.


I'm two years post treatment.


Best wishes.
Reply:I had a lot of B-cells also but it was in my blood and they thought I had auto-immune response also. but 1 month later it was still there and they did a 24 hour urine for Benz Jones (light chain essay) and a SPEP on the blood to ID the protiens and it ended up being Multiple Myeloma (cancer of the plasma cell)





Don't be scared, 98% of time it is nothing and wil go away on own, just keep an eye on it and have it checked out in a couple of months and I bet it will be normal.





Good luck to you,

34 months and still here
