A group of rare Non-Hodgkin lymphoma characterized by malignant proliferation of lymphoid cells blocked at an early stage of differentiation. It accounts for 75% of all cases of childhood leukemia cases. The peak incidence occurs between 2 and 5 years of age. Patients may present with symptoms, frequently including lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, bone pain, fever and signs of hemorrhage or they may remain asymptomatic. Some patients may also present with acute with a life-threatening hemorrhage, infection, or respiratory distress. Although it primarily affects the bone marrow and peripheral blood, the abnormal cells can infiltrate any organ or tissue.
