Abstract: After a decade in which lymphoma studies and diagnosis experienced dynamic development using immunocytologic and molecular genetic techniques, especially in situ, a colloquium was held in 1987 in Kyoto, Japan, on lymphoid malignancies from histologic and molecular aspects. This book provides papers from that meeting on the following topics: (1) modern techniques in the diagnosis of lymphoma-leukemia (molecular genetic analysis of lymphoid malignancies, rearrangements of antigen receptor genes in lymphoid neoplasia, a novel antigen expressed in HTLV-1-infected cells detected with a monoclonal antibody, role of T3-T cell receptor complexes for leukemogenesis of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL), chromosome translocations in human B-cell malignancies, studies in Japanese 14q+ marker-positive lymphoma, chromosome aberrations in lymphoid malignancies and transforming gene in ATL, chromosome abnormalities in malignant lymphoma in an area nonendemic for ATL in Japan, flow cytometry in the diagnosis and classification of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, computer-aided diagnosis of lymph node diseases [the PATHFINDER project]); (2) T-cell lymphomas (approach to classification of post-thymic T-cell malignancies, classification of T-cell leukemias, immunohistopathology of ATL, studies of peripheral T-cell lymphoma consisting of clear cells, immunoelectron microscope studies on T-cell lymphomas, a spectrum of T-cell neoplasia, T-zone dysplasia with hyperplastic follicles); (3) advanced Hodgkin's disease (HD), childhood, and B-cell lymphomas (current concepts of the enigma of HD, comparative pathology of giant cells in lymphoid malignancies, relevance to HD of lymphomatoid papulosis and Ki-1+ large cell lymphomas of the skin, childhood lymphoma in Japan, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas in childhood, lymphotropic viruses interacting with Epstein-Barr virus in pathogenesis of immunodeficiency and lymphoproliferative diseases, malignant lymphomas in nonendemic areas of ATL); and (4) new concepts of non-neoplastic lymphoproliferative disorders.
