Abstract

T cell lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin lymphomas is a rare form of malignancy with poor outcomes. TCLS are a heterogeneous group of lymphoid malignancies that occur in nodal and extranodal sites. There are two main types of TCLs namely T-lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukemia and Peripheral T-cell lymphomas classified based on clinical manifestations and cytogenetic mutations. The use of advance technology like karyotyping, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) has allowed us to study TCLs in detail and to observe a different biochemical change that occurs in different TCLs allowing us to classify and treat them differently. This review focuses on the different mutations occurring in different TCLs and how they help us distinguish one type from another.

Keywords: Cytogenetics; Mutations; Non-hodgkin lymphomas; T-cell lymphomas.
