<unk>  describes several different types of Non-Hodgkin lymphoma affecting T cells or Natural killer cells (NK-cells), also known as a NK/T-cell lymphoma. Any organ that has lymphatic tissue may develop a lymphoma, including the spleen, thymus, adenoids, tonsils, digestive tract and bone marrow. Characteristically, they may present as fast (aggressive) or slow (indolent) growing lymphomas.
Lymphomas are named after the precursor cell from which it developed. A peripheral<unk> s include lymphomas which arise from mature T-cells (after maturation in the thymus), in contrast with immature<unk> s, the lymphoblastic lymphoma.
