Background: Background:Recognized as an entity in the 2016 WHO Classification of Tumors of Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues, Pediatric-Type Follicular Lymphoma (PTFL) is a rare nodular follicular lymphoma that affects primarily children and young adults. The clinical presentation is characterized by the sudden appearance of an isolated lymphadenopathy, with a predilection for the head and neck region, without systemic symptoms. The incidence is higher in men. It has an excellent prognosis with the excision of the affected ganglion. By definition, diagnosis is histological, immunocytochemical and molecular. There are no known risk factors or any described association with immunodeficiency or viral infections.
