follicular large cell lymphoma - (pronounced) (fuh-LIH-kyoo-ler larj sel lim-FOH-muh) A rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (cancer that starts in cells of the immune system), characterized by enlarged lymph nodes and large cancer cells that may appear split (U-shaped) under a microscope. Follicular large cell lymphoma is treated as an aggressive (fast-growing) lymphoma but sometimes recurs years later and behaves like an indolent (slow-growing) lymphoma
