[Pathological re-evaluation of cases of chronic lymphoid leukemia]

Lymph nodes of 46 autopsy cases regarded clinically on the basis of bone marrow and blood film findings as chronic lymphoid leukaemia were reinvestigated. Considering the new reclassification of malignant lymphomas only 38 per cent of the cases have shown histologic pattern of chronic lymphoid leukaemia. 28 per cent out of the remaining 62 proved to be lymphoplasmocytic immunocytoma, 10 per cent centroblastic-centrolytic ML and 8 per cent centrocytic ML.
