Summary

A patient presenting clinical features of leukemia is described. The morphology of the cells in the peripheral blood and in the bone marrow suggested that they were of the lymphocytic series, but the type of leukemia was uncertain. Electron microscopic studies revealed concentric or spiraloid lamellar formations in the cytoplasm of a substantial number of the cells, suggesting the diagnosis of lymphosarcoma cell leukemia.

Zusammenfassung

Es wird ein Patient mit klinischen Zeichen einer Leukämie beschrieben. Die Morphologie der Zellen im peripheren Blut und im Knochenmark deutet darauf hin, daß diese der lymphatischen Reihe angehören, jedoch bleibt der Typ der Leukämie unsicher. Elektronenmikroskopische Untersuchung zeigt konzentrische oder spiralförmige lamellare Strukturen im Zytoplasma einer Anzahl dieser Zellen, was auf die Diagnose einer Lymphosarkom-Zell-Leukämie hindeutet.
