[Histocytology of lymphatic tissue]

A more detailed analysis of lymphatic tissue showed its sophisticated cytology. About 35 types of cells shared in structure in a confined space. Their most important diagnostic criteria in the light and electron microscopy, histochemistry, and immunohistology were reviewed. Testing group features in advance seemed to be advantageous beginning with lymphocytes, lymphoplasmatic elements, polymorph lymphatic cells, lymphoblasts, histioreticular and vascular cells. A further subgrouping is mostly feasible especially by electron microscopy.
