Overview

NCI Definition: A nodal peripheral T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma in which the neoplastic lymphocytes manifest a T follicular helper (TFH) cell phenotype. These lymphomas frequently show a diffuse infiltration pattern without a prominent polymorphic inflammatory background, vascular proliferation, or expansion of follicular dendritic cell meshworks. In some cases, a so-called T-zone pattern may be evident. (WHO 2017) [1]
