Anaplastic large-cell lymphoma ( ALCL ) refers to a group of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in which aberrant T cells proliferate uncontrollably. Considered as a single entity, ALCL is the most common type of peripheral lymphoma and represents ~10% of all peripheral lymphomas in children. The incid...

Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It’s a serious form of cancer that affects cells called T cells, or T lymphocytes.
Q1. What does the FDA know about Breast Implant Associated Lymphoma? A1. The FDA first identified a possible association between breast implants and the development of ALCL in 2011. At that time, the FDA knew of so few cases of this disease that it was not possible to determine what factors increased the risk. In a report summarizing the Agency's findings, we emphasized the need to gather additional information to better characterize ALCL in individuals with breast implants. In 2016, the World H...

ALCL is a rare type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. It is made up of either malignant T-cells (type of cells in the immune system), or ‘Null-lymphocytes’ (lack both B or T-cell markers). The presence of the protein, ‘CD30 antigen’ on the surface of lymphoma cells is the hallmark of the disease. ALCL occurs in two forms: systemic ALCL which can affect all organs in the body and is aggressive; and primary cutaneous ALCL which is confined to the skin and tends to be slow-growing. There are two sub...
What is primary cutaneous anaplastic large-cell lymphoma? ; Any region of the skin can be affected, including mucosal surfaces. However, the upper half of the body is most commonly involved. ; Peripheral aborising and polymorphous vessels ; Brentuximab vedotin — an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody linked to cytotoxic monomethyl auristatin E is the preferred option but up to 65% of patients develop a peripheral neuropathy
