Comparison of immunohistologic (IH) and immunocytologic (IC) techniques was conducted on 86 specimens. Forty-seven B-cell, five T-cell, and two null-cell lymphomas were identified by IH as well as 16 cases of lymphoid hyperplasia. The results of IC were generally identical to those of IH except for two T-cell and two B-cell lymphomas. The diagnosis of T-cell lymphoma was a major problem for IC because of the...
