Abstract
|
|
|
A nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (ENKL) is very rare in children. A pediatric nasal type ENKL is generally localized and is likely to have sensitivity to radiotherapy. The most common site is the upper airway tract, such as nasal region, Waldeyer¡¯s ring, paranasal sinuses and palates. It usually presents with nasal symptoms, such as obstruction or epistaxis. We describe our experience of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in a 13-year old boy having incidentally detected nasal type ENKL on laryngoscopic examination who did not have nasal symptoms. He received three cycles of dexamethasone (40 mg/day for 3 days), ifosfamide (1,000 mg/m2/day for 3 days), VP-16 (67 mg/m2/day for 3 days) and carboplatin (200 mg/m2 for 1 day) at 3-week intervals and 45 Gy intensity-modulated radiation therapy. He has been disease-free for 18 months after cessation of therapy.
