Abstract
A retrospective review of 302 patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is reported. The tumors were classified according to a modified Lukes & Collins scheme and their growth pattern was analysed. Nodular growth was scored in 3 degrees. Nodularity was found to be correlated with certain clinical features and of great relevance for prognosis. The growth pattern was also correlated with cell type, but even within a certain cytologic type, nodular tumors were associated with better survival than diffuse tumors.
