Nasal type natural killer/T cell lymphoma: case series and literature review

Abstract

Nasal type natural killer/T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of extranodal non-Hodgkin lymphoma which originates from nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Exact diagnosis of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, which is a rapidly progressive clinical condition, may be established by immunohistochemical analysis on biopsy material after clinical suspicion. In this article, we report four cases of nasal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma who were followed-up in our clinic and discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the disease in light of the literature data.

Nazal tip doğal katil/T hücreli lenfoma: Olgu serisi ve literatür derlemesi

Abstract

Nazal tip doğal katil/T hücreli lenfoma nazal kavite ve paranazal sinüslerden kaynaklanan, nadir görülen bir ekstranodal non-Hodgkin lenfoma türüdür. Hızlı ilerleyen bir klinik durum olan nazal doğal katil/T hücreli lenfomanın kesin tanısı klinik şüphenin ardından biyopsi materyalinde immünohistokimyasal analiz yapılması sonucu konabilir. Bu yazıda, kliniğimizde takip edilen dört nazal doğal katil/T hücreli lenfoma olgusu bildirildi ve hastalığın tanı ve tedavisi literatür verileri ışığında tartışıldı

Keywords
