| lymphoma, T-cell, cutaneous | A group of lymphomas exhibiting clonal expansion of malignant T-lymphocytes arrested at varying stages of differentiation as well as malignant infiltration of the skin. Mycosis fungoides and sezary syndrome are the best characterised of these disorders. (12 Dec 1998) |

| lymphoma, T-cell, peripheral | A group of malignant lymphomas thought to derive from peripheral T-lymphocytes in lymph nodes and other nonlymphoid sites. They include a broad spectrum of lymphocyte morphology, but in all instances express T-cell markers admixed with epithelioid histiocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Although markedly similar to large-cell immunoblastic lymphoma (lymphoma, large-cell, immunoblastic), this group's unique features warrant separate treatment. (12 Dec 1998) |
| lymphoma, undifferentiated | A form of lymphoma in which relatively large stem cells with large nuclei, pale, scanty cytoplasm, and indistinct borders are predominant. The cells are undifferentiated, i.e., show no morphologic evidence of maturation toward lymphocytes or histiocytes. (12 Dec 1998) |
