[A complex diagnostic approach in lymphomas: practical aspect in short case reports].

Complex laboratory investigation is necessary for the diagnosis and relevant classification of lymphomas. The classical histopathological morphology and cytology investigation is essential, but further investigations such as immunohistochemistry and fluorescence in situ hybridization are necessary. It is also important to employ flow cytometry as a method of investigation running synchronously or preceding the histopathological approach.

[Immunophenotypization by means of flow cytometry in pathology].

Flow cytometry represents a modern analytical method useful for an assessment of selected cellular subpopulations in suspension (peripheral blood, aspirate of bone marrow, liquid fluid etc. and also in suspensions prepared from non-fixed solid tumors) in clinical and research laboratories. The method provides information on numerous surface or intracellular markers of the analyzed elements at the same time.
