The leukemic phase of histiocytic lymphoma. Histologic, cytologic, cytochemical, ultrastructural, immunologic and cytogenetic observations in a case. 1978

R K Brynes, and H M Golomb, and F Gelder, and R K Desser, and J Rowley

A case of histiocytic lymphoma that progressed to a leukemic phase was studied by various methods. Although the cells were found to bear a superficial morphologic resemblance to histiocytes, they more closely resembled transformed lymphocytes. Immunologic markers strongly supported a B-lymphoid origin in this case, while cytogenetic analysis indicated a large number of consistent chromosomal rearrangements, including a translocation involving chromosomes Nos. 8 and 14 which has been previously reported to occur primarily in Burkitt's lymphoma.

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.
