    Lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) is a highly aggressive neoplasm of immature lymphocytes, differentiated from acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) by blast percentage.

  • 2

    The study analyzed clinical data from 38 adult LBL patients across seven tertiary hematology departments in Türkiye.

  • 3

    The median overall survival (OS) for the cohort was 23 months, with a 5-year OS rate of only 6%, indicating the aggressive nature of adult LBL.

  • 4

    No significant difference in OS was found between T-LBL and B-LBL patients, suggesting similar prognostic outcomes.

  • 5

    Factors like increased LDH levels, CNS involvement, and unsuccessful initial treatment may correlate with worse outcomes in adult LBL.
