Abstract:
The 5th edition of the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of haematolymphoid tumours used the hierarchical system to classify T-cell and NK-cell lymphoid proliferations and lymphomas (T/NK-LPD/LYM) based on research advances and clinicopathological characteristics of the diseases. In this edition of classification, tumour-like lesions were included, some tumors were added/deleted, the names or terms of certain diseases were refined, and the diagnostic criteria or subtypes of some diseases were revised. This group of diseases was reintegrated from non-clonal hyperplasia to highly aggressive lymphoma, which would further reflect the nature of T/NK-LPD/LYM and benefit to clinical application.
