A note on the so-called Lennert's lymphoma (lympho epithelioid cellular lymphoma) concerning its disease entity. 1978

T Tanaka, and T Ohnoshi, and K Kobayashi, and K Hayashi

Two cases of so-called Lennert's lymphoma, which is characterized by massive infiltrations of focally aggregated epithelioid cells, are presented. Since this lesion was particularly emphasized by LENNERT and MESTDAGH in 1968, the major conflicting issue has been focussed on its precise disease entity whether this is an independent or already-established lymphoproliferative disorder. Based on our experiences, we are rather inclined to regard this lesion to be "a curious histologic variant of an already-established disease entity". In order to investigate its precise disease entity and also in view of a possible significance of the presence of epithelioid histiocytes in the lymph nodes and of tonsillar involvement in relation to immunocompetence of the patients, further accumulation of similar cases is required.
