Atlas and Textbook of Malignant Lymphomas: Cytology, Histopathology & Immunochemistry

by P. van Heerde, C. J. L. M. Meijer, L. A. Noorduyn

Based on the experience of the distinguished Amsterdam Lymphoma Panel, this book supplies the theoretical background for understanding and classifying lymphomas in a uniform way. Each chapter presents data on clinical findings, cytology, histology, immunocytochemistry, and, where pertinent,
electron microscopy and molecular biology. The first chapter is devoted entirely to Hodgkin's disease, while subsequent chapters describe the Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and form the bulk of the book. The authors cover topics such as lymphomagenesis, compartmentalization of T and B lymphocytes in lymph
nodes, differential diagnosis and growth pattern of NHLs. A chapter deals exclusively with extranodal lymphomas, and the latest CD list of monoclonal antibodies is provided.
