More than 150 years have passed since involvement of the nervous
system in leukemia was first reported by BURNS, while the
possibility of the primary brain tumor derived from the
lymphoreticular tissue was recognized much later. BAILEY in 1929
described such neoplasms under the term perithelial sarcoma. Later
these tumors of the nervous system have been variously designated
as "Perivascular of perithelial sarcomas, reticulum cell sarcomas
or microgliomas," as controversy has evolved and still exists on
the definition of this group of neoplasms and on the nature of
their cells of origin. Much of the unfortunate confusion concerning
the neoplastic lesions attributed to "microglia" and other
derivations of the RE system arose because their close relationship
to extra neural cells has been ignored. On the other hand,
communication in the field of malignant lymphomas has become
increasingly difficult because of the termino logic maze and
conceptual diversities of traditional morphological classifica
tions that have limited valid comparisons. Although at present we
are still far from a precise recognition of the basic features of
lymphoproliferative processes and from a fairly general agreement
on the terminology of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, there is encouraging
evidence recently of some enlightment on the nature of tumor cells
that provides the basis for a reasonable and generally acceptable
lymphoma classification."
