Abstract
When we consider the question of whether nodal marginal B cell lymphoma exists, the author is reminded of the Lewis Carroll poem, The Hunting of the Snark. In our retrospective study in the South West Oncology Group of indolent lymphomas diagnosed in the 1970s, we have gone into a jungle of boojum trees and yucca trees, but we have finally emerged triumphantly with some true primary nodal monocytoid B cell lymphomas.
