Lymphoma, T-Cell, Peripheral

T-cellslymfom, perifert

Svensk definition

En grupp elakartade lymfom som antas uppstå från perifera T-lymfocyter i lymfknutor och andra, icke-lymfoida, ställen. De omfattar ett brett spektrum av lymfocytformer, men uttrycker alltid T-cellsmarkörer blandade med epiteloida histiocyter, plasmaceller och eosinofiler. Även om dessa lymfom påminner mycket om storcelligt immunoblastiskt lymfom, så måste särdragen hos denna grupp tas i särskilt beaktande.

Engelsk definition

A group of malignant lymphomas thought to derive from peripheral T-lymphocytes in lymph nodes and other nonlymphoid sites. They include a broad spectrum of lymphocyte morphology, but in all instances express T-cell markers admixed with epithelioid histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Although markedly similar to large-cell immunoblastic lymphoma (LYMPHOMA, LARGE-CELL, IMMUNOBLASTIC), this group's unique features warrant separate treatment.
