[The so-called immunologic classification of non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphoma].

TLDR: The so-called immunologic classification of malignant lymphomas was used in 100 of suitable cases and permits a more accurate determination of the nature of the neoplasms and a larger flexibility in classifying them considering the possible trend of alterations that may occur during the course of the disease.

Abstract: The so-called immunologic classification of malignant lymphomas was used in 100 of suitable cases. Without the simultaneous use of immunocytological methods the classification was applicable with certain restrictions only, but, in general the entire classification scheme could be used in routine bioptic practice. The so-called immunologic classification permits a more accurate determination of the nature of the neoplasms and a larger flexibility in classifying them considering the possible trend of alterations that may occur during the course of the disease. Some difficulties and points of confusion have been discussed.
