Additionally, we reviewed 5 cases of T-cell lymphoma with lymphoepithelioid features, including 2 cases that do not meet the current criteria for PTCL-NOS, with 1 included in PTCL-TBX21 and 1 in PTCL \u03b3\u03b4 described above. Three cases remain unclassified. We highlight the diagnostic challenges of PTCL-NOS, emphasizing the importance of performing a comprehensive panel of immunomarkers and molecular studies to establish the diagnosis and address the heterogeneity of these lymphomas. We identify rare cases of nodal \u03b3\u03b4 PTCL-NOS with a unique immunophenotype and TP53 mutations. We also discuss the features of PTCL-GATA3 and PTCL-TBX21, including enrichment for cytotoxic markers in PTCL-TBX21 and aberrant B-cell marker expression in a subset of PTCL-GATA3 cases. The differential diagnosis of PTCL-NOS cases expressing, as well as those with lymphoepithelioid features, is briefly discussed. The importance of access to clinical history and staging is emphasized, as demonstrated by cases of nodal involvement by primary cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and cases that have progressed from low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Peripheral T-cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified is heterogeneous with distinct emerging subgroups.
