<unk> , also called Peripheral T-Cell lymphoma, is a group of rare, aggressive lymphomas that develop from<unk>  white blood cells and originate from lymphoid tissues outside of the bone marrow.<unk>  is under the category of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.<unk> s account for 10% to 15% of all lymphomas and is more common in Asia than in Europe and America. Its common subtypes include angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma, anaplastic large cell lymphoma and peripheral T-cell lymphoma not otherwise specified. While different subtypes have variable symptoms, common symptoms include enlarged painless lymph nodes, fever, weight loss, rash and night sweats. Some subtypes of<unk>  may be associated with viral exposure as well as gene mutations. Diagnosis is done by physical examinations, assisted by tests like biopsy, PET scan and CT scan to examine the site of lymph node development. Chemotherapy, drugs, autologous stem cell treatment and extracorporeal photopheresis are treatment options. The choice of treatment and its subsequent effectiveness are determined by the subtype present in the patient.
