Anaplastic large cell lymphoma is a rare malignancy during childhood. Equally rare are publications of the disease in African children. We reported two cases which successfully treated by chemotherapy in the pediatric oncology unit at Gabriel Touré Hospital in Bamako, Mali. The clinical course and therapeutic outcomes of the disease in these two children were presented similarly to cases described in the medical literature from other areas of the world. However, further study with a larger number of cases is needed to be confirmed in these results.
