In this paper, a novel method for diagnosing lymphatic tissue tumors is presented. Microscopic specimen images are analyzed for extracting and characterizing malignant cells. A case-based reasoning approach is followed for classifying morphologic and densitometric cell features so as to provide a final diagnosis.
