Non-Hodgkin's lymphomata: clinical and immunological data in relation to histology.

Two hundred and forty-four previously untreated patients seen since 1964 in the department of haematology at Saint-Louis hospital were analysed. Clinical data included results of initial work-up and prognosis evaluated by survival rate matched with principal variables: age, sex, histopathology, staging, incidence of clinical and biological systemic symptoms. Immunological data included results of systematic studies made in each category of non-Hodgkin's lymphomata. Hyperbasophilic lymphoma, a special group recently characterized, is discussed.
