title: An animal model for childhood convoluted T-cell lymphoma.
abstract: The light microscopic and ultrastructural characteristics of the AKR-J mouse lymphoma are described in detail. Clinical and histologic facets of convoluted T-cell lymphoma of childhood and AKR-J mouse lymphoma are reviewed. The remarkably close correlation between these two entities is demonstrated. The possibility that this mouse tumor should be utilized as a model for convoluted T-cell lymphoma of childhood is emphasized.
