Popis: Lymphomas are malignant neoplasms of lymphoid tissue. AIMS & OBJECTIVES: The objective of the study was to evaluate the Histomorphological variants of Nodal lymphomas at Gandhi hospital for over a period of two years. Materials & methods: We have studied 40 out of 220 nodal biopsies which revealed histomorphology of lymphoma. IHC markers were done to type the lymphomas Results: Out of 40 cases 31 were Non Hodgkins lymphomas (NHL) and 9 were Hodgkins .Follicular variant was the commonest one. CONCLUSION: NHL was the commonest nodal lymphoma at our hospital with Follicular lymphoma predominating. Typing of the lymphomas has prognostic implications and IHC is a useful ancillary technique in the
