Describes normal lymphocyte differentiation to familiarize readers with the range of changes that may be seen.Makes diagnosis and differential diagnosis easier with precise descriptions of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and Hodgkin's disease, lymphomas in persons with abnormal immune systems, and unusual disorders such as granulocytic sarcoma and mast cell disease.
