Peripheral T-cell lymphoma: clinicopathologic analyses of 25 cases.

Twenty-five patients with peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) were analyzed to assess clinicopathologic features of the disease and were classified according to the newly proposed histologic classification for T-cell lymphomas to study the correlation between histology and survival, if any. Histologic diagnoses were: Lennert's, 1; T-zone, 1; pleomorphic, small, 1; pleomorphic, large, 1; angiocentric, 4; pleomorphic, medium, 5; immunoblastic, 5; angioimmunoblastic, 7. Patients with PTCL were noted to be endowed with clinicopathologic factors known to adversely affect survival, such as advanced stage (92%), B symptoms (56%), liver involvement (56%), multinodal disease (52%), elevated serum LDH (48%), and so on. Response to therapy was poor. CR was obtained in 30% of patients with advanced disease with a 50% relapse rate. Median survival for the 25 patients was 13 months. No correlation was found between morphologic subtypes and survival.
