Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (a group of blood cancers that arise from lymphocytes or white blood cells in the immune system) and a subtype of T cell lymphoma. Cancer cells in ALCL can be identified by a tumor marker called CD30 or Ki-1.
There are two types of ALCL: cutaneous ALCL (a type that affects the skin) and systemic ALCL (a type that affects other body organs). Systemic ALCL includes ALK-positive (anaplastic lymphoma kinase) and ALK-negative. ALK-negative has been associated with breast implants and is known as Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma or BIA-ALCL.
