Abstract
DURING the past four years I have noticed in normally coloured smears of blood, bone marrow and spleen puncture from 9 cases of hepatosplenomegaly with strongly marked granulocytopenia and lymphocytosis, a considerable number of cells closely resembling lymphocytes but showing several special features. I have never observed this type of lymphocytes in lymphatic leukosis, which I have studied for many years from the cytological point of view, nor in any other disorder of the lymphatic system.
