[Early diagnosis of leukaemic transformation of malignant non-hodgkin lymphoma in childhood (author's transl)]. 1976

H U Schwenk, and G Willital

Fresh tumour cells from four children, aged 3-11 years, with malignant non-Hodgkin lymphoma were examined with four different immunological cell markers (E-rosettes, membrane-immunoglobulins, receptors for complement, and receptors for Fc fragment). In three patients a T-cell marker (E-rosettes) was found in most of their tumour cells, the marker differing from that of T-lymphcoytes by different temperature kinetics. This difference may be used to recognise earlier than previously possible the frequently observed diffuse infiltration of bone marrow (leukaemic transformation) and of the nervous system in the course of the disease.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D006689 Hodgkin Disease A malignant disease characterized by progressive enlargement of the lymph nodes, spleen, and general lymphoid tissue.
