Although there are convincing descriptions of primary lymph node tumors dating from 1666, research into lymphoreticular disease began in 1832 when Thomas Hodgkin gave clinical descriptions and gross post mortem findings for seven cases. Later Reed and Sternberg concluded that Hodgkin's disease was indeed a different lesion with particular microscopical features. In the late 1950s, Burkitt described a tumor he observed in Uganda that affected the jaw. Originally it was called "round cell sarcoma." In 1961 Burkitt and O'Connor described the features of the clinical syndrome known today as Burkitt's lymphoma. Soon afterward, Wright established that this lymphoma was distinguished from other forms of lymphomas based on histopathologic features.
尽管早在1666年就有关于原发性淋巴结肿瘤的确凿描述，但对淋巴网状系统疾病的研究始于1832年，当时托马斯·霍奇金对7例病例进行了临床描述和大体尸检结果。后来，里德和斯特恩伯格得出结论，霍奇金病确实是一种具有特定微观特征的不同病变。20世纪50年代末，伯基特描述了他在乌干达观察到的一种影响颌骨的肿瘤。最初它被称为“圆形细胞肉瘤”。1961年，伯基特和奥康纳描述了如今被称为伯基特淋巴瘤的临床综合征的特征。此后不久，赖特确定这种淋巴瘤基于组织病理学特征与其他形式的淋巴瘤有所区别。
