(General Instructions – The main focus of these pages is the clinically significant genetic alterations in each disease type. Use HUGO-approved gene names and symbols (italicized when appropriate), HGVS-based nomenclature for variants, as well as generic names of drugs and testing platforms or assays if applicable. Please complete tables whenever possible and do not delete them (add N/A if not applicable in the table and delete the examples). Please do not delete or alter the section headings. The use of bullet points alongside short blocks of text rather than only large paragraphs is encouraged. Additional instructions below in italicized blue text should not be included in the final page content. Please also see Author_Instructions and FAQs as well as contact your Associate Editor or Technical Support)

Cancer Category / Type
Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype
Definition / Description of Disease
- Category that is assigned T-cell lymphoma entities that do not meet diagnostic criteria for HAEM5:Enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma or HAEM5:Monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma
- Typically assigned in the setting of inadequate biopsy, equivocal assessment of mucosal surface, incomplete immunophenotype, or incomplete clinical history where celiac disease is uninvolved
- Not a distinct clinical entity
Synonyms / Terminology
- N/A
Epidemiology / Prevalence
- N/A
Clinical Features
Put your text here and fill in the table (Instruction: Can include references in the table)
Signs and Symptoms | EXAMPLE Asymptomatic (incidental finding on complete blood counts)
EXAMPLE B-symptoms (weight loss, fever, night sweats) EXAMPLE Fatigue EXAMPLE Lymphadenopathy (uncommon) |
Laboratory Findings | EXAMPLE Cytopenias
EXAMPLE Lymphocytosis (low level) |
editv4:Clinical FeaturesThe content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.
- Aggressive disease with typically widespread involvement[1]
- Not associated with celiac disease[1]
- Weight loss, anorexia, fatigue, possible intestinal obstruction/perforation[1]
- May not respond to standard therapy indicated for enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma or monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma[1]
Sites of Involvement
- Intestinal tract (predominantly colon)
Morphologic Features
- Heterogeneous, variable-sized lymphocytic infiltrate
- Shares features compatible with both enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma
Immunophenotype

EXAMPLE 30% (add reference) |
Yes | No | Yes | EXAMPLE
The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference). |
editv4:Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)The content below was from the old template. Please incorporate above.

- Characteristic Chromosomal Patterns
- Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

Individual Region Genomic Gain / Loss / LOH
Put your text here and fill in the table (Instructions: Includes aberrations not involving gene fusions. Can include references in the table. Can refer to CGC workgroup tables as linked on the homepage if applicable.)

Yes | Yes | No | EXAMPLE
Presence of monosomy 7 (or 7q deletion) is sufficient for a diagnosis of AML with MDS-related changes when there is ≥20% blasts and no prior therapy (add reference). Monosomy 7/7q deletion is associated with a poor prognosis in AML (add reference). |
