In children, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is distinct from the more common forms of lymphoma observed in adults. While lymphomas in adults are more commonly low or intermediate grade, almost all NHL that occurs in children is high grade. The incidence of NHL observed in children and adolescents varies depending on age, gender, and histology. Regardless of age or histology, males have a higher incidence than females. Burkitt lymphoma is much more common in males, with the highest incidence between the ages of 5 years and14 years. The incidence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) increases with age in both males and females. The incidence of lymphoblastic lymphoma remains relatively constant across ages for both males and females.
