T-cell lymphoma: a morphological, histochemical and immunological study of nine Chinese cases

Nine cases of T-cell lymphoma presenting in the Guizhou province of China between 1982 and 1984 are reviewed. Seven of the patients were male; seven patients have died, the mean survival period being 22 months. The clinical features resembled those reported in Japanese cases, but skin lesions were absent. Histologically three cases were classified as of lymphoblastic type, three as pleomorphic cell type, two as clear cell type and one as immunoblastic-lymphadenopathy-like T-cell type.
