Type . | Clinical . | Histology . | Phenotype . | Outcome . |
---|---|---|---|---|
EATL type I | Overt or silent gluten-sensitive enteropathy | Polymorphous medium to large cells including | CD4−, CD8−/+ | Aggressive |
Hodgkin-like cells | TCR αβ (usually) | |||
or γδ | ||||
Variable expression of CD30 | ||||
EATL type II | Worldwide, not clearly linked to celiac disease | Monomorphic with epitheliotropism | TCR γδ (usually) or αβ | Aggressive |
CD8+, CD56+ | ||||
Extranodal NK-/T-cell lymphoma nasal type | Upper aerodigestive tract and small bowel most often involved | Medium to large cells | NK/cytotoxic T cells, EBV+ | Aggressive |
PTCL-NOS | No history of celiac disease | No significant epitheliotropism | Variable | Aggressive |
More often TCR silent | ||||
NK-cell enteropathy | Vague gastrointestinal symptoms, can involve entire GIT | Medium to large irregular cells do not invade glandular epithelium | CD56+ | Indolent chronic relapsing course |
