'''T-cell lymphoma''' describes several different types of [[Non-Hodgkin lymphoma]] which affect [[T cell]]s.
[[T cell]]s are involved in four classes of [[lymphoma]]. Together with lymphomas involving [[NK cells]], these account for perhaps one in eight cases of NHL.<ref name="The Lymphomas">{{cite web |url=http://www.leukemia-lymphoma.org/attachments/National/br_1161891669.pdf |title=The Lymphomas |accessdate=2008-04-07 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date=May 2006 |format=PDF |publisher=The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society |pages=p. 12}}</ref> The four classes are:
* [[Extranodal T cell lymphoma]]
* [[Cutaneous T cell lymphoma]]s: [[Sézary syndrome]] and [[Mycosis fungoides]]
* [[Anaplastic large cell lymphoma]]
* [[Angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma]]
More information on various classification schemes is in the main [[lymphoma]] article.
