title: The non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
abstract: This paper is a review of the pathology of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. The various classifications proposed as alternatives to the Rappaport classification are briefly reviewed. The light microscopic morphology of the various sub-types are described, mentioning where possible the derivation of the tumour cell type as delineated by enzyme and immunological cell marker studies. The natural history and salient clinicopathological aspects of the disease entities are also described.
