Abstract:
Pediatric non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) comprise an important subset of childhood malignancies with characteristic clinical, histologic, cytogenetic, and immunologic findings. Lymphoblastic lymphoma, small noncleaved cell lymphoma, and large cell lymphomas comprise the vast majority of childhood NHLs. Proper distinction of these subsets of NHL has important therapeutic and prognostic implications for the patient.
