Three children with nonlymphoblastic, non‐Hodgkin's lymphomas, showed morphologic features that suggested nonlymphoblastic T‐cell origin. Tissue for immunologic study was available from two of the three patients; both showed immunophenotypes ef T‐cells. Although nearly all T‐cell lymphomas in children are lymphoblastic based on morphology, nonlymphoblastic T‐cell lymphomas do occur in pediatric patients.
