摘要

Peripheral T cell lymphomas are a rare group of cancers that result from clonal proliferation of mature T cells. They account for up to 5-10% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas and multiple sites are usually involved including blood, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen and skin. These T cell neoplasms are generally aggressive. They do not respond well to chemotherapy and are associated with a poor prognosis.
