Myeloid neoplasms after follicular helper T-cell lymphomas: a real, but limited risk

Key Points

• To investigate the relationship between follicular helper T-cell lymphomas and the emergence of myeloid neoplasms.
• Review of existing literature on T-cell lymphomas and associated risks
• Analysis of case reports and clinical data
• Comparison of incidence rates of myeloid neoplasms in affected individuals
• Identified a limited but real risk of developing myeloid neoplasms after diagnosis of follicular helper T-cell lymphomas
• Noted variability in individual cases suggesting some may be at higher risk than others
