Mitochondrial changes in malignant lymphoma cells.
Mitochondrial changes (enlargement, loss of cristae, finely granular content) were observed in 5-25% of the lymphoma cells of 6 patients suffering from different types of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas. These cytoplasmic inclusions may also be visible in light microscopic preparations and may give reason for misinterpretation.
