Malignant cells from 49 children with lymphoid neoplasms other than Hodgkin disease were evaluated by surface marker and morphologic studies. We classified the patients into three groups: 36 patients (74%) with acute lymphocytic leukemia; 7 (14%) classified as convoluted lymphocytic lymphoma/leukemia; and 6 (12%) with small noncleaved follicular center cell lymphoma/leukemia. Diffuse marrow involvement was present at diagnosis in some patients in the latter two groups, but their clinical course was not characteristic of the patients with acute lymphocytic leukemia. Male predominance, poor prognosis, and high incidence of central nervous system disease characterized patients in the convoluted lymphocytic and follicular center cell lymphoma/leukemia groups. Clinical presentation in these two groups differed. Proliferations of convoluted lymphocytes were associated with mediastinal masses and proliferations of follicular center cells with intraabdominal tumors. The high incidence of CNS disease in children with neoplasms of convoluted lymphocytes and follicular center cells suggests that these processes have a predilection for the CNS and that patients with them may benefit from CNS prophylaxis.
