Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma. a fairly new type of large cell Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Most cases are T-cell or cell type unknown (null). It can be systemic in children or young adults or cutaneous (in/on the skin). Disease limited to the skin is quite indolent and remains localized to the skin with many examples of spontaneous remission. The systemic form can involve lymph nodes and extranodal sites acting aggressively but responds to chemotherapy used to treat other large cell lymphomas. Also see the Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma page. Previously called Ki-1 lymphoma.
