Quantitative morphometric analyses of macrophages should facilitate a more precise definition of the role of macrophages in neoplastic diseases and inflammatory diseases of lymphoid and hemopoietic tissues. The usefulness of the available phenotypic markers is affected by the extent to which they ar...
