T-cell lymphoma describes several different types of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma which affect T cells.
T cells are involved in four classes of lymphoma. Together with lymphomas involving NK cells, these account for perhaps one in eight cases of NHL.[1] The four classes are:
- Extranodal T cell lymphoma
- Cutaneous T cell lymphomas: Sézary syndrome and Mycosis fungoides
- Anaplastic large cell lymphoma
- Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma
More information on various classification schemes is in the main lymphoma article.
