These lymphomas have an aggressive clinical course and respond poorly to conventional treatments. Distinct histological features have not been well described. Additionally, the minimum criteria for diagnosis is not well established but detection of at least two TFH markers in addition to CD4 is suggested to assign a TFH cell phenotype. Some pathological features of angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL) such as recurrent molecular alterations are commonly found. As the name suggests, these lymphomas are nodal in origin with patients presenting with widespread lymphadenopathy. We describe the first documented case of nodal PTCL with a TFH phenotype presenting as an isolated mesenteric mass with no nodal involvement.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/hematolrep14040047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,16]],"date-time":"2022-11-16T04:39:03Z","timestamp":1668573543000},"page":"335-341","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["An Isolated Mesenteric Presentation of a Nodal Peripheral T Cell Lymphoma with T Follicular Helper Cell Phenotype"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2187-1126","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Keogh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histopathology, Saint James Hospital, D08 NHY1 Dublin, Ireland"},{"name":"Department of Histopathology, Trinity College Dublin, D02 PN40 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fiona","family":"Lynott","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pathology, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonios","family":"Papanicolau-Sengos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Pathology, Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mutaz","family":"Mohammed Nur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histopathology, University Hospital Waterford, X91 ER8E Waterford, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aisling","family":"Spillane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Molecular Diagnostics Department, Saint James Hospital, D08 NHY1 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fiona","family":"Quinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cancer Molecular Diagnostics Department, Saint James Hospital, D08 NHY1 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ezzat","family":"ElHassadi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology, University Hospital Waterford, X91 ER8E Waterford, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4632-0301","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elaine S.","family":"Jaffe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Haematology, University Hospital Waterford, X91 ER8E Waterford, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Flavin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Histopathology, Saint James Hospital, D08 NHY1 Dublin, Ireland"},{"name":"Department of Histopathology, Trinity College Dublin, D02 PN40 Dublin, Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4952","DOI":"10.1182\/blood-2006-10-055145","article-title":"The gene expression profile of nodal peripheral T-cell lymphoma demonstrates a molecular link between angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and follicular helper T (TFH) cells","volume":"109","author":"Rickman","year":"2007","journal-title":"Blood"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMc1111708","article-title":"TET2 and DNMT3A mutations in human T-cell lymphoma","volume":"366","author":"Couronne","year":"2012","journal-title":"N.
