AB Lymphoma  represents  the  third  most  common  pediatric  cancer  in  children  between  the  ages  of  0  and  19  years.  Sixty  percent  of  all  childhood  and  adolescent  lymphomas  are  classified  as  non-Hodgkin  lymphoma  (NHL).  NHL  represents  approximately  10%  of  all  malignancies  that  occur  in  children  and  adolescents.  Between  1975  and  2010,  the  5-year  survival  rate  for  NHL  increased  from  45%  to  87%  in  children  younger  than  15  years  and  from  48%  to  82%  for  adolescents  aged  15  to  19  years.
