Abstract

Lymphoblastic lymphomas account for 20-30% of all non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) in children, and most cases of childhood lymphoblastic lymphoma are T-cell type (T-LL). T-LL occurs most frequently in late childhood and adolescence; with male predominance of 2:1.We present a paediatric case with a right sided mediastinal mass causing mediastinal shift diagnosed as T-LL.
