A consecutive series is presented of 100 cases of malignant lymphoma in which a correlation could be made between the histological findings and the cytology of pleural or peritoneal fluid or both. Using the Kiel classification, 80 cases could be given a histological label, while 20 remain unclassified. In those cases in which lymphoma cells were identifiable in the serous fluid, their morphology was studied and was found in general to correlate well with the cell-type expected from the histology. It is not claimed that the type of lymphoma can be reliably diagnosed from the cytology of pleural or peritoneal fluid, but an opinion can be provided as to the grade (high or low), and in some cases it is also possible to give an indication of the cell-type involved.
本文呈现了100例恶性淋巴瘤的连续病例系列，其中可将组织学结果与胸腔或腹腔积液或两者的细胞学进行关联。采用 Kiel 分类法，80例可给出组织学标签，而20例仍未分类。在那些可在浆液中识别出淋巴瘤细胞的病例中，研究了它们的形态，发现总体上与组织学预期的细胞类型相关性良好。并未声称可从胸腔或腹腔积液的细胞学可靠诊断淋巴瘤类型，但可提供关于分级（高或低）的意见，并且在某些情况下还可给出所涉及细胞类型的指示。
