The WHO classification of T-cells NHL categorize them into Precursor T-cell neoplasm and Peripheral T-cell lymphomas/NK-cell neoplasms. The last one can be further subdivided into:

• T-cell prolymphocytic leukemia
• T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia
• Chronic lymphoproliferative disorder of NK cells
• Aggressive NK-cell leukemia
• EBV positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders of childhood
  • Systemic EBV positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disease of childhood
  • Hydroa vacciniforme-like lymphoma
• Adult T-cell lymphoma/leukemia
• Extranodal T-/NK-cell lymphoma, nasal type
• Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma
• Hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma
• Subcutaneous panniculitis-like T-cell lymphoma
• Mycosis fungoides
• Sézary syndrome
• Primary cutaneous CD30 positive T-cell lymphoproliferative disorders
  • Primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma
  • Lymphomatoid papulosis
• Primary cutaneous peripheral T-cell lymphomas, rare subtypes
  • Primary cutaneous gamma-delta T-cell lymphoma
  • Primary cutaneous CD8 positive aggressive epidermotropic cytotoxic T-cell lymphoma
  • Primary cutaneous CD4 positive small/medium T-cell lymphoma

• • Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise characterized
• Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma
• Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK positive
• Anaplastic large cell lymphoma, ALK negative
