Shortly afterward several similar cases were recorded by Symmers, who likewise assumed a non-neoplastic background.8The former authors ultimately revised their beliefs and at the present time consider the disease a form of lymphoblastoma.1, 7Symmers, however, has retained his original concept, although admitting frequent transition of the process into frank neoplasm.9Callender included this disease in the group of hematopoietic tumors3and Jackson has stated that the disorder...References1.
