Peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTCLs) represent approximately 12% of lymphoid neoplasms (1). Their incidence varies among countries, being higher in HTLV-1 endemic areas, such as Southern Japan, Caribbean basin and some USA districts.1 PTCLs are a heterogeneous group of tumors that can be roughly subdivided into specified and not otherwise specified (NOS) forms.2 While the former correspond to distinct but rare entities, often occurring at extra-nodal sites, the latter represent the commonest type of T-cell lymphoma (40-50% of cases), followed by the angioimmunoblastic (AITL) and anaplastic large cell (ALCL) ones.
