Establishment of HHV-8-positive and HHV-8-negative lymphoma cell lines from primary lymphomatous effusions [PDF]
Primary lymphomatous effusions are represented by cases of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) which grow in liquid phase in the serous body cavities in the absence of solid tumour masses. Based on morphologic, immunophenotypic, virologic and genotypic features, primary lymphomatous effusions are distinguished into body cavity-based lymphoma (BCBL), Burkitt's
