T-Cell Lymphomas |

|
| Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas caused by malignant (cancerous) T-Cell lymphocytes represent a smaller subset (about 15% in the US) of the known types of lymphoma (the other 2 subsets being B-Cell lymphomas and lymphomas where the cell type is unknown). | |||
Causes Some cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma ("classic", affecting adolescents and children and often involving the skin) have a t(2;5) gene translocation. Causes for this and other types of lymphoma are under constant investigation.
