title: Lymphocytes with cerebriform nuclei in chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative diseases.
abstract: Two patients with chronic lymphoproliferative diseases, a splenic marginal zone lymphoma and hairy cell leukaemia variant, were reported. In both diseases a B-immunophenotype was demonstrated but a variable percentage of lymphoid cells (30 and 52%) showed a highly irregular nuclear outline, sometimes mimicking the nuclei of Sézary cells.
