Summary
Immunohistochemistry aids in diagnosing chronic neutrophilic leukaemia (CNL) by identifying immature myeloid cells in lymph nodes. This technique is crucial for distinguishing these cells from malignant lymphoid cells in myeloid neoplasms.
Area of Science:
- Hematology
- Oncology
- Immunohistochemistry
Background:
- Chronic neutrophilic leukaemia (CNL) is a rare myeloproliferative neoplasm.
- Distinguishing immature myeloid cells from lymphoid cells in lymph node biopsies can be challenging.
