Classificação dos tumores hematopoéticos e linfoides de acordo com a OMS: Padronização da nomenclatura em língua portuguesa, 4 a edição

Abstract

Introduction: The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of hematopoietic and lymphoid tissue (4 th edition, 2008) tumors constitutes an updated review of the 3 rd edition published in 2001. The translation of the nomenclature used to describe the entities should be clear, precise and uniform so that clinicians, pathologists and researchers involved in the onco-hematopathological area may identify them accurately. Objective: With this purpose, the authors present an updated proposal and a terminological standardization in Portuguese based on WHO/2008.
