TL;DR: The results show that simultaneous assessment of FSC/SSC and reactivity for the CD117, CD2, CD25, CD33, and CD35 forms the basis for the immunophenotypic characterization of BMMC from SMCD in adults and should be integrated with clinical and morphologic studies for the diagnosis of the disease.

TL;DR: The frequency of PB monoclonal B cells is markedly higher than previously reported, and most cases showed clonal B-cell levels below the maximum sensitivity of the techniques described by others (< 0.01%), supporting the notion that detection of MBL may largely depend on the sensitive of the flow cytometry approach used.

TL;DR: FCM significantly improves the sensitivity of CC for the identification of leptomeningeal disease in aggressive B-NHL at higher risk of CNS disease, particularly in paucicellular samples.

TL;DR: The clinical value of MFC in the study of PC disorders is reviewed, with specific emphasis in those areas where consensus exists on the need to incorporate MFC into routine evaluation of MM and other clonal PC‐related disorders.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provided the reader with information for the objective and reproducible identification of pathologic MCs by using quantitative multiparametric flow cytometry, information for their phenotypic characterization, and the criteria currently used for a correct interpretation of the immunophenotypic results obtained © 2004 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
