Overview

Historical Perspective

Originally known as histiocytic leukemia, malignant reticulosis, or lymphoid myelofibrosis in publications dating back to the 1920s, this disease was formally named leukemic reticuloendotheliosis and its characterization significantly advanced by Bertha Bouroncle, M.D., and her colleagues at the Ohio State University College of Medicine in 1958. Its common name, which was coined in 1966[1], is derived from the appearance of the cells under a microscope.
