title: Cerebellar degenerative changes in patients with acute leukaemias and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas.
abstract: In patients with neoplasms located outside the central nervous system can appear degenerative changes within nervous tissue. Neuropathological investigations have been done on 101 cases with acute Non-Lymphoblastic Leukaemias (ANLL) and Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL). Cerebellar degenerative changes especially granular layer rarefaction or atrophy appear more frequently in ANLL than in NHL.
