Summary
Mature T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHLs) in the pediatric population comprise about 10–15% of the NHLs. Natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms in this age group are even rarer. Both groups of lymphomas tend to present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations, including nodal, extranodal, and leukemic diseases, and are frequently associated with paraneoplastic phenomena such as hemophagocytosis, fevers, or rashes [1].
