Pediatric-type follicular lymphoma (PTFL) is a unique pathological type in the 4 th edition of hematopoiesis and lymphoid tissue tumor classification revised by World Health Organization. It is unique in clinical practice and seldom seen in adult. PTFL mainly occurs in the head and neck lymph nodes. Most of the cases are short of fever, night sweat, weight loss, and other B symptoms which substitute for lymphadenopathy as the main symptom. PTFL can be disposed of surgical resection and it can achieve long-term tumor-free survival, and it has an excellent outcome.
