PY - 2022 T2 - Williams Manual of Hematology, 10e AB - The term peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) refers to lymphomas originating in a mature (ie, post-thymic) T cell.PTCLs make up 10% to 15% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas and represent 28 heterogeneous diseases as currently classified.Table 67–1 lists the mature T-cell and natural killer (NK) cell lymphomas excluding primary cutaneous lymphoma.The four most common entities make up 60% to 65% of cases in the United States and northern Europe; these are PTCL not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS), angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL), anaplastic lymphoma kinase positive (ALK+) anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL), and ALK-negative ALCL.The incidence of various types of PTCL varies widely based on geography (Table 67–2).
