Title: Haematolymphoid malignancies: It is not important WHO we are but WHERE we go from here
Abstract: The World Health Organization and the International Consensus Classification have both addressed and categorized T-cell lymphomas and histiocytic and dendritic tumours. Differences in the classification systems has generated considerable debate. Falini and colleagues now provide some clarity for the readership, with a framework for navigating the current classifications. They highlight the importance of finding a common path to formulate a single classification scheme in the near future. Commentary on: Falini et al. A comparison of the International Consensus and 5th WHO classifications of T-cell lymphomas and histiocytic/dendritic cell tumours.
