Abstract

Peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) represents approximately 12% of lymphoid neoplasms. They are even rarer in children and represent only 1% of Non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma in this age group. We report a case of PTCL in a 1-year-old female child for its rarity.

Keywords

ALK negative anaplastic T-cell lymphoma - peripheral T-cell lymphoma - non-Hodgkin lymphoma - unusual chemorespons
