Summary
Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) comprise about 10% of all childhood cancers [1]. They include a diverse collection of malignant neoplasms that arise from mature and immature lymphoid cells of B-cell and T-cell origin [1]. Adult and pediatric NHLs have a number of differences, including subtypes, tumor locations, and biologic behaviors, which are summarized in[1]. Morphologic evaluation of adequate tissue, immunophenotyping, and cytogenetic and molecular analysis are essential approaches in the diagnosis of NHLs. This chapter focuses on mature B-cell NHLs in children. Mature T-cell NHLs and immature lymphoid neoplasms are discussed in Chapters 9 and 13.
