Abstract
Morphology continues to be the principal basis for the identification of the non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas. Although immunologic markers provide essential information relating to function, which may indeed be another logical basis for classification, one must accept that the initial diagnosis, the accurate estimation of extent of disease, and the determination of prognosis are all dependent on evaluation of histologic and cytologic characteristics.
