Book Description
This volume presents 20 cases to illustrate the major types of malignant lymphomas, as well as selected non-neoplastic lesions and nonlymphoid malignancies, that may be encountered by surgical pathologists in the diagnosis of lymph nodes and related organs. Examples include Hodgkin's disease, B cell lymphomas, and T cell lymphomas, involving lymph nodes and extranodal sites. An immunologic and functional approach to classification is stressed, and the utility of immunologic and molecular genetic techniques in diagnosis and classification is illustrated where relevant.
