EXTRANODAL T CELL OR NK-CELL LYMPHOMA, NASAL TYPE TWO CASE REPORTS AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Abstract

Abstract : Extranodal NK Cell or T-cell lymphoma, nasal
type, is an uncommon lymphoma, usually with an NK-cell
phenotype and EBV positive, with a broad morphologic
spectrum, frequent necrosis and angioinvasion, and most
commonly presenting in the midfacial region, but also in other
extranodal sites like palate, skin, soft tissue GIT, testes etc. I
would like to report to the best of our knowledge, two such
cases evaluated in our institution . Both the patients
presented with destructive lesions involving the nose and oral
cavity. The lesions were biopsied, HPE proved and managed
subsequently with chemoirradiation
