Clinical Flow Cytometry for the Perplexed-Part 3: Lymphomas


 

This lecture covers B and T cell lymphomas, their phenotypes and properties, and differential diagnoses of key phenotypes. This lecture is not only useful for those entering clinical practice in hematopathology but serves as a useful review for those taking AP/CP boards.
