Abstract
The morphologic identification and classification of malignant lymphomas have been the subjects of confusion and controversy for decades. The remarkable diversity of the histologic and cytologic manifestations of the malignant lymphomas and the difficulty of precise cytologic identification in tissue sections, particularly of poorly differentiated cells, have produced a unique terminologic maze that has precluded effective comparison of case series from different centers. The traditional classifications of malignant lymphoma have been employed in an unappreciated, extraordinarily variable fashion and have proved ineffective in prognostication and communication in my experience.
