Cancer Category/Type
Mature T- and NK-cell Neoplasms
Cancer Sub-Classification / Subtype
Definition / Description of Disease
- Category that is assigned T-cell lymphoma entities that do not meet diagnostic criteria for Enteropathy-Associated T-cell Lymphoma or 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
- 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
- N/A
Chromosomal Rearrangements (Gene Fusions)
- No unique disease-specific genetic features
Characteristic Chromosomal Aberrations / Patterns
- No unique disease-specific chromosomal pattern
Genomic Gain/Loss/LOH
- N/A
Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)
- N/A
Other Mutations
- N/A
Epigenomics (Methylation)
- Not described
Genes and Main Pathways Involved
- N/A
Diagnostic Testing Methods
- Must rule out definitive diagnosis of enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma
Clinical Significance (Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Implications)
- Aggressive course
- Must rule out all definitive diagnoses, including enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma and monomorphic epitheliotropic intestinal T-cell lymphoma and indolent T-cell lymphoproliferative disorder of the gastrointestinal tract
Familial Forms
- None
