Abstract

|
|
|
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare syndrome that may develop in association with various kinds of lymphoma and its clinical course is often fatal. Epstein?Barr virus (EBV) is the major triggering factor for HLH. We describe a patient with extranodal NK/T?cell lymphoma (ENKL), nasal type of the cauda equina presenting as EBV?associated HLH (EBV?HLH), initially considered as simple EBV polyradiculitis.Awareness of the association between NK/T?cell lymphoma and EBV?associated HLH is important for early initiation of life?saving therapy.
