"LGL exhibits an unexplained, chronic elevation in large granular lymphocytes (LGLs) in the peripheral blood.
It is also known by the following terms: Proliferation of large granular lymphocytes (LGLs), LGL leukemia, Tγ-lymphoproliferative disorder, T-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia" 1
LGL has an indolent clinical course mortality is uncommon (rarely fatal).2
"Some patients with mild cytopenias (low blood counts) and/or lymphocytosis remain asymptomatic for a long period. Spontaneous remissions have been reported in some studies. In symptomatic cases (majority) treatment should be initiated. Being a rare malignancy, treatment recommendations are based on data coming from case reports and retrospective studies. Recurrent neutropenia and infections are the main concern in treatment of this disease." 3
LGL is "a clonal proliferation of cytotoxic T cells, which causes neutropenia, anemia, and/or thrombocytopenia. This condition is often associated with autoimmune disorders, especially rheumatoid arthritis, and other lymphoproliferative disorders". 4

"Angiocentric lymphoma is a type of T-cell lymphoma that is associated with Epstein Barr virus (EBV) infection. It includes cancers that previously were labeled "lethal midline granulomas," "nasal T-cell lymphoma," and "lymphatoid granulomatosis."
Angiocentric lymphoma typically is characterized by a destructive nasal or midline facial tumor that is accompanied by invasive infiltrate, a substance that penetrates the spaces between tissues.
The patient's palate (roof of mouth) may be destroyed by the tumor, and he or she may have prominent swelling of the eyes and face.
Other sites of involvement outside the lymph nodes (extranodal) are the skin, lungs, and central nervous system. This tumor often is very resistant to therapy and has a poor prognosis. It is much more common in Asians than in people of European descent." source: oncologyChannel

Angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AILD) is considered a variety of T-cell lymphoma, which usually occurs in adults.
Symptoms include generalized lymphadenopathy (enlarged lymph nodes) and increased antibody proteins in the blood (hypergammaglobinemia). Other symptoms are fever, skin rash and weight loss.

Lymphoblastic lymphoma is a very rare form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in adults, accounting for less than 3 in 100 cases overall. However, it accounts for more than 1 in 3 of all cases occurring in children and teenagers. This lymphoma more commonly affects males than females.
It's a high grade (aggressive) lymphoma which arise from precursors of B or T-cells. In 4 out of 5 cases the T-lymphocytes are affected. The vast majority (90%) are of immature T-cell lineage.

Cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL) is a lymphoma of T cell (a type of white blood cell that is responsible for immune function) origin that affects the skin.
See CTCL
"This aggressive [intestinal] lymphoma almost always arises in the setting of celiac disease. Rarely the lymphoma may arise in extraintestinal sites. The most common location is the jejunum and presents as single or multiple tumors."
For uncommon lymphomas, it's important to consult experts at centers that specialize in this research and work cooperatively to do trials.
