Hi
Lymphoproliferative disorder means malignancy of lymphocytes/ cells of lymphoid origin like lymphomas. In your father's case probably the presence of smudge cells have prompted his consultant to look into the cause.
However since His counts are slightly higher than the normal range its important to rule out malignancy.
Hope this helps.
Regards
