Abstract:
Lymphoagglutination is a rare EDTA-dependent phenomenon far less frequent than neutrophil agglutination. It usually involves normal lymphocytes, but has also been reported in lymphoproliferative disorders. We report the case of a woman who developed artifactual agglutination of both normal and lymphoma cells in the context of an unusual primary cutaneous leg type B-cell non-Hodgkin's malignancy, raising the potential of misdiagnosis.

Effects of EDTA on End-Point Detection Methods
In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a result, EDTA...
