Who discovered Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and why didn't he or she get the disease named after him or her?

I don't know that anyone discovered it Bill. Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a catch-all term for something like 25 or 30 different cancers of the Lymph Nodes. What they all have in common is that they're not Hodgkin's disease.

With all due respect, Mister Science, I find kaseido's explanation more satisfying.

Who wouldn't be? It's far more charming.
