Overview

The risk factors include viruses, certain chemicals such as hair dyes and immunodeficiency states.

Risk Factors

Risk factors for follicular lymphoma include[1][2]:

  • Immunodeficiency states:
    • Congenital immunodeficiencies
    • Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Most lymphomas associated with HIV are intermediate-grade or high-grade lymphomas.
    • Patients who have been on immunosuppressant drugs after organ transplantation. Most of these lymphomas are diffuse or high-grade lymphomas.
    • Autoimmune diseases
