2008 WHO classification of tumours of haematopoietic and lymphoid tissues
Body was changed:

The 2008 WHO World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumourstumors of haematopoietichematopoietic and lymphoid tissues is at the time of writing (mid 2016) the most widely used pathologic classification system for hematolymphoid neoplasms. The current revision, known as the 4th revised edition, was published in 2016, supersedes the 4th edition published in 2008, and is reflected in the article below 1,2,3.
