T-cell lymphomas are uncommon malignancies that represent between 7 to 37 % of all lymphomas; and showed to close relationship with geographic presentation, because are most common in Asia and in some counties of Latin America. The information about this type of lymphomas is rare and specifically in Caribean area is null. In our country, T-cell lymphomas represent less than 10% of all malignant lymphomas, and some subtypes are no diagnosed or reported.
