Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a distinctive CD30-positive peripheral T-cell lymphoma that is rare in the CNS and is separated into two distinct types: ALK-positive (ALK+ ALCL) and ALK-negative (ALK− ALCL).<ref name=":0" />

ALK+ ALCL occurs from early childhood to young adulthood with a male preponderance.<ref name=":1">George, D.H.; Scheithauer, B.W.; Aker, F.V.; Kurtin, P.J.; Burger, P.C.; Cameselle-Teijeiro, J.; McLendon, R.E.; Parisi, J.E.; Paulus, W.; Roggendorf, W.; et al.

ALK− ALCL affects adults (median age: 65 years), also with a male preponderance.

ALK+ ALCL occurs as single or multiple supratentorial parenchymal lesions with or without infratentorial involvement, and rarely with spinal cord involvement. Extension to involve the meninges and (rarely) the skull can occur.<ref>Karikari, I.O.; Thomas, K.K.; Lagoo, A.; Cummings, T.J.; George, T.M. Primary Cerebral ALK-1-Positive Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma in a Child. Pediatr. Neurosurg. 2007, 43, 516–521. [CrossRef] [PubMed]</ref>
 
ALK− ALCL occurs as single or multiple lesions, usually supratentorial

ALK+ ALCL shows a diffuse proliferation of large atypical cells with abundant cytoplasm, including hallmark cells with bean-shaped nuclei and an eosinophilic paranuclear area<ref>Jaffe ES.

The t(9;22) is diagnostic of CML in the appropriate morphology and clinical context (add reference). This fusion is responsive to targeted therapy such as Imatinib (Gleevec) (add reference).
 
 
In translocations other than the t(2;5), i.e. in t(2;Var) involving various partners and ALK, the fusion protein has a cytoplasmic localization; they are therefore called "cytoplasm only" ALK+ ALCL.<ref name=":0" />
