See below...: "large cell t-cell lymphoma" is not standard nomenclature and does not represent a specific type of lymphoma recognized by the world health organization. A specific type of large t-cell lymphoma is, for example, anaplastic large cell lymphoma. Irrespective of name, lymphoma is a type of cancer that occurs in lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues and t cells are a type of lymphocytes.
