Types Of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

There are various subtypes of peripheral T-cell lymphoma, such as AITL (angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma), PCALCL (primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma), and MF (mycosis fungoides). These are the most frequent subtypes of PTCL. Letu2019s have a look at all types of PTCL. <br>

  1. Types Of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma

  2. Angioimmunoblastic T-Cell Lymphoma (AITL) About 2% of all NHL (non-Hodgkin lymphoma) cases are attributed to AITL. This subtype is usually aggressive (fast-growing), but, at times, it can have a spontaneous regression. It commonly occurs in the lymph nodes and can affect the patient’s liver or spleen.

  3. Primary Cutaneous Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (PCALCL) PCALCL usually affects the skin and falls in the group of slow-growing (indolent) lymphoma. Even with a good prognosis, it is ALK-negative.

  4. Nasal, Natural Killer (NK)/T-Cell Lymphoma This lymphoma subtype affects the nasal area and some areas behind the nose and cheeks, which are the paranasal sinus areas. Although, it does not mean that it can only occur in those areas. Its occurrence can also be in the skin, testes, and gastrointestinal tract. Less than 1.5% of all NHL cases in the US come from this subtype, making it a rare disease.

  5. Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma, Not Otherwise Stated (PTCL-NOS) It is the most common type of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma, containing a group of diseases that can not fit into any other PTCL subtype. In PTCL-NOS there are nodal as well as extranodal sites. The subtype is aggressive in nature most of the time.

  6. Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma This subtype is also pretty rare in adults, with a constitution of 3% of all NHL cases. The percentage of cases in children is much higher, making it more common in children. It can be further divided into ALK-positive and ALK-negative. The division is due to the absence or presence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), which is a protein.

  7. Blastic NK-Cell Lymphoma Blastic NK-cell lymphoma is a subtype of PTCL which is hard to treat, rare, and grows very fast. Often, the patients in this category take part in clinical trials after discussing it with their medical team.

  8. Precursor T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Or Leukemia This condition can be diagnosed as leukemia or lymphoma, or even both of them. You can find this subtype more commonly in adolescents and male adults. However, it can also exist in children and other adults.

  9. Enteropathy-Associated Lymphoma Celiac disease is usually associated with this subtype. Celiac disease is a chronic disorder caused in the intestine due to being hypersensitive to gluten proteins. The common symptoms of enteropathy-associated lymphoma are weight loss, stomach pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, etc.

  10. Hepatosplenic Lymphoma It is an extremely aggressive and rare disease. You can find it commonly in young adults under 30 years. The patients of this subtype experience it first in their spleen or liver.

  11. Subcutaneous Panniculitis-Like Lymphoma This subtype is the rarest and is also the worst when it comes to well-defined lymphomas. It occurs in the subcutaneous fat tissues and forms nodules. Some of its symptoms include fever, weight loss, chills, and oral mucosal ulcers. They can be either aggressive or indolent.

  12. Adult T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma Or Leukemia This type is more common in Japan and the Caribbean and is associated with the HTLV-1 virus. The transmission of HTLV-1 (Human T-cell Leukemia Virus-1) can be through blood transfusions, sexual intercourse, childbirth, breast milk, etc. Apart from these subtypes, there are categories of PTCL that the WHO recognizes. Even though PTCL is already a type of cancer with subtypes, it also has these categories. • Nodal • Extranodal • Leukemic
