B- and T-/NK-Cell Lymphomas in the 2022 International Consensus Classification of Mature Lymphoid Neoplasms and Comparison with the WHO Fifth Edition

The World Health Organization (WHO) “Classification of Tumours of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissues”, published in 2001 and subsequently updated in 2008 and 2017, defined disease entities based on morphologic and phenotypic characteristics, clinical features, and genomic findings. Recently, the criteria for the diagnosis of many lymphoma entities have been refined in a proposal by the International Consensus Classification (ICC). Some provisional categories have now been recognized as “definite” entities, while other categories have undergone major revision. This article reports on the major revisions in the criteria and definition of B- and T-/NK-cell lymphomas by the ICC system.
