Abstract
The great majority of nodal and extranodal non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas are derived from cells of the follicle centre and a clear understanding of this group of tumours is central to the histological diagnosis of malignant lymphoma. The cells that constitute the reactive follicle centre have been described and illustrated in Chapter 1 and reference to this normal cell population is of great help in the diagnosis of follicle centre cell lymphomas.
