Abstract
Malignant lymphomas, primary tumors of the lymphoid tissues, were first described in 1832 by Thomas Hodgkin. The histological characteristics were later defined by Sternberg and Reed, and Virchow introduced the concept of lymphosarcoma in 1863. Brill and Symmers individualized giant follicular types with a better prognosis, while Oberling, in 1928, isolated the reticulosarcomas (malignant proliferations of reticuloendothelial cells) from lymphosarcomas.
