Abstract
|
|
|
|
The extranodal nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma was formerly known as lethal midline granuloma due to its most common clinical pattern like a destructive midline facial tumor. It often spread to other extranodal sites, such as skin, soft tissue, testis, upper respiratory tract, and gastrointestinal tract etc. For this reason, the term of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type is preferred. Its disease entity may have a prominent admixture of inflammatory cells and necrotic tissues, further causing difficulty in diagnosis. A 44-year-old man was visited to our clinic with complaints of dysphagia and odynophagia during six months. He underwent three times punch biopsies and then, two times incisional biopsies. Finally, He was diagnosed as extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type involving oropharynx and supraglottis. We report an extremely rare case of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type occurred in oropharynx and supraglottis with a brief review of literature.
