Abstract

Over the last decade or so the classification of the lymphocyte-related leukaemias and lymphomas has been expanded from being an essentially clinical and morphological exercise to one for which more sophisticated cell recognition systems are employed. Such systems involve the identification of so-called immunological “markers” which are chemical structures found on or in normal lymphocytes reflecting their stage of maturation or differentiation. These structures are not, as was initially thought in some cases, indicative of malignancy as such and do not represent tumour-specific phenomena, but may only be present in very few normal cells.
