Abstract excerpt
The degree of heterogeneity among subtypes was evaluated in 39 of the most frequent malignant, diffusely growing small B cell lymphomas by a combination of morphometry, automated image analysis, and immunocytologic techniques. Cluster analysis of nuclear profile parameters, including nuclear area, circularity factor, and chromatin distribution pattern, distinguished 3 groups. Each group was characterized by the...
