Ribosome-lamellae complex in chronic lymphatic leukaemia.
The Ribosome Lamellae Complex (RLC) was found in two out of 35 patients with Chronic Lymphatic Leukaemia (CLL). The proportion of lymphocytes bearing RLC was very small (4% in the first case and less than 0.5% in the second case). The significance of this type of inclusion is discussed and the possible relationship to the circular profiles of endoplasmic reticulum is emphasized.
