Abstract

In the interim between the writing of this chapter and it’s publication, the World Health Organization Classification of Tumours of the Haematopoetic and Lymphoid Tissues was released. Most of the disorders described in this chapter remain essentially unchanged, however, some of the entities have been significantly altered in the new WHO classification.
