title: Nonlymphoblastic T-cell lymphoma in children.
abstract: Three children with nonlymphoblastic, non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, showed morphologic features that suggested nonlymphoblastic T-cell origin. Tissue for immunologic study was available from two of the three patients; both showed immunophenotypes of T-cells. Although nearly all T-cell lymphomas in children are lymphoblastic based on morphology, nonlymphoblastic T-cell lymphomas do occur in pediatric patients.
