lymphoma, lymphoblastic (medicine)


lymphoma, lymphoblastic


A high-grade malignant lymphoma composed of a diffuse, relatively uniform proliferation of cells with round or convoluted nuclei and scanty cytoplasm. The cells are cytologically similar to the lymphoblasts seen in acute lymphocytic leukaemia, and in some cases, the disease may evolve into a leukaemic phase morphologically indistinguishable from acute t-lymphocytic leukaemia (leukaemia, T-cell, acute). Lymphoblastic lymphoma represents approximately one-third of the cases of non-hodgkin's lymphomas in children and 5% of the cases in adults. It is more prevalent in males.


scoliometer (medicine)


scoliometer


An instrument for measuring curves, especially those in lateral curvature of the spine.

Origin: G. Skolios, curved, + metron, measure
