Since these earliest descriptions the literature on these cells has become large and controversial. Papers by Michels5and Maximow6contain the most complete discussions. The cells are found under normal conditions in the omentum, interstitial tissue of glands, lymph nodes and bone marrow. In pathological states they are found in...Bibliography1.
