✦ Synopsis
Analysis of malignant lymphoma in a single institution at different periods of time can determine the changing status of the disease in the region.
METHODS.
To compare with the large series of 1095 lymphoma cases reported between 1957-1971 at Siriraj Hospital, the largest hospital in Thailand, a similar study was performed through histopathologic evaluation of 425 lymphoma cases diagnosed consecutively at the same institution between August 1993 and October 1995. Phenotypic analysis was performed by paraffin section-immunoperoxidase studies.
