Abstract

Hematolymphoid neoplasm is the most common type of pediatric cancer and is classified by morphologic and immunophenotypic similarities to their normal counterparts, by their clinical presentation, and by their genetic mutations. Our understanding of the last is increasing dramatically and forms the basis for the latest subclassification of hematolymphoid neoplasms that provides better prediction of outcome and rationale for altered therapy. This chapter reviews our current classification scheme for pediatric hematolymphoid neoplasm.
