The T‐cell system is conventionally regarded as an enabler of diverse compartments, which correspond to different steps of differentiation and functional subsets of mature cells taking part in the immune response in the peripheral lymphoid and non‐lymphoid tissues.

In this chapter, we give a overview of the T‐cell system, more functionally than anatomically oriented, to reflect its extreme plasticity. This plasticity is thought to lie at the heart of the diversity of T‐cell malignancies now recognized by the World Health Organization.
