Abstract

Just as the cytomorphological picture is composed of several microscopic components, the optimal cytodiagnostic conclusion may be supported by the clinical setting and the ancillary techniques applied, particularly flow cytometry and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based molecular genetic analyses. Thus, in the strictest sense, cytomorphology should merely be regarded the first simple step of these methods. Since normal nodes rarely are needled, we have chosen smears from reactive lymph nodes and some lymphomas to illustrate the most common cell types.
