Definition

Pediatric hepatosplenic T-cell lymphoma (pHSTCL) is an aggressive disease characterized by the malignant proliferation of T-cells in the liver and spleen. Unlike other lymphomas, pHSTCL rarely involves lymph nodes or other organs.1 i(7)(q10) is a common finding in pHSTCL, leading to a gain of 7q including ABCB1 at 7q22.2,3 Trisomy 8 is also seen in some cases. Mutations of SETD2, STAT5B, INO80, TET3, SMARCA2, STAT3 are frequently observed.4,5 These tumors mostly express TCR γ/δ.1
