Abstract

The small lymphocytes which predominate in CLL resemble normal peripheral lymphocytes morphologically. Stereological techniques at the ultrastructural level were used to assess whether quantitative differences could be demonstrated in cell structure. Numerous parameters were estimated - of these only 4: Nuclear volume, Cell surface to volume ratio, Nuclear surface to volume ratio and total cell surface showed statistically significant differences.
