Extranodal nasal non-Hodgkin lymphomas with small NK/T cells - Case report
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Rhinology - Year 2018, Vol 9, Issue 32
Abstract
A 40-year-old female patient presented to our clinic for bilateral nasal obstruction, anteroposterior mucopurulent rhinorrhea, recurrent micro-epistaxis, anosmia, left otodynia, fever and sweating. The ENT findings and CT scan detected a septal tumor with predominant extension in the left nostril, with erosive character of the osteo-cartilaginous septal structure, without sinusal involvement and left lateralcervical adenopathy. Resection of the entire septal tumor formation was performed. The histopathological outcome revealed non- Hodgkin's small-type NK/T extranodal nasal-type lymphoma – immunohistochemical tests confirmed histogenesis.
