The diagnosis of splenic lymphoma with villous lymphocytes (SLVL) was assessed by a panel of cytologists in a series of 100 patients. Clinical and biological characteristics were analysed in relation to prognosis.SLVL is a chronic B-cell lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by splenomegaly and the presence, in peripheral blood, of lymphocytes with 'villous' projections, The cytological diagnosis can be difficult in patients without an absolute lymphocytosis which was observed in 24% of cases. B-ceIls expressed CD19(+), CD20(+), CD22+, CD24(+) and DBA44(+), whereas the expression of CD5, CD10 and CD25 was usually negative.SLVL is a disease of the elderly with a relatively benign clinical course. In the present series the 5-year overall survival was 78%, Deaths in 15 patients were related to disease progression or treatment (nine cases), Patients with a leucocyte count >30 x 10(9)/l or lymphocyte count
