High-grade B cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (HGBL, NOS) is a new diagnostic categoryof non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) based on World Health Organization statement in2016. Up to 40% of NHLs are located in the extra-nodal area, commonly involving the gastrointestinaltract, head and neck region, bone and skin. The diagnosis of NHL originating fromthe inferior turbinate (IT) is rare, and there have been no reported cases yet of HGBL, NOS inIT. In this study, we report on a 43-year-old female who had a nasal polyp in IT and was diagnosedwith HGBL, NOS after surgery. Endoscopic polypectomy under general anesthesiawas performed. A histopathological report confirmed the resected specimen as HGBL, NOS,with a clear resection margin. Nasal obstruction was improved immediately after surgery andthe patient was followed up for 10 months without any recurrence or complications.
