[Argyrophilic proteins of nucleolar organizers regions as markers of malignancy grade of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma and Hodgkin's lymphoma].

Expression of argyrophilic proteins of nucleolar organizers regions (Ag-NOR-proteins) was studied in tumor cells from 17 patients with a classic variant of anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) and 22 patients with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL). Eight cases of p80+ and nine cases of p80-ALCL were studied. HL was represented by 13 cases with lymphoid depletion by a reticular type and 9 cases with nodular sclerosis with a syncytial growth.
