Clinicopathological analysis of malignant lymphoma in Taiwan, defined according to the World Health Organization classification.
We report the distribution and clinicopathological characteristics of malignant lymphomas in Taiwan, defined according to the WHO classification. Data including age and gender of the patients, clinical staging and disease courses were collected for 598 cases of malignant lymphomas. The results showed that the epidemiological characteristics of malignant lymphomas in Taiwan are similar to those in other Asian countries except for a lower incidence rate of T/NK cell lymphoma.
