✦ Synopsis

Virus-like particles which seemed to be oncogenic have not been observed clinically in human neoplasms. However, we found some virus-like particles in the cytoplasm of a few proliferating cells in the lymph nodes of one patient with angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy. These were very similar to intracytoplasmic type A particles seen in the Mazon-Pfizer monkey virus and a mammary tumor virus in a mouse.

ANY NEOPLASMS in animals are known to M be caused by viruses, and some oncogenic viruses have been discovered by electron microscopy in the tumors of animals, even of subhuman primates. It has been speculated that some neoplasms in humans could be caused by viruses; several types of oncogenic
