=====Factors to consider=====

Factors to consider when attempting to group by morphology:

#Cell shape (spindle cell, epithelioid, plasmacytoid, mixed).

#Cell size (small or large) - size in relation to a neutrophil or [[red blood cell]].

#Cell cohesion - dyscohesive vs. cohesive.

#*If one sees several groups of 5+ cells... probably cohesive.

#*Presence of cell cohesion strongly disfavours lymphoma.

~~#Cell size - in relation to a neutrophil or red blood cell.~~

#Cytoplasm - abundance (scant, moderate, abundant).

#*Eosinophilic cytoplasm disfavours lymphoma.
