Intraoral Extranodal Natural Killer Cell/T-Cell Lymphoma of the Hard Palate

Natural killer cell/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and requires early detection, which can be very challenging. NK/TL often arises in the nasal cavity and can then spread to the oral cavity, but the case pre...

description Natural killer cell/T-cell lymphoma (NK/TL) is a rare subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) associated with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and requires early detection, which can be very challenging. NK/TL often arises in the nasal cavity and can then spread to the oral cavity, but the case presented here is an unusual presentation of NK/TL in a 66-year-old edentulous male patient who initially presented an intraoral exophytic lesion in the palate that appeared within 3 months. We report the present case to highlight the challenges of reaching an accurate diagnosis given the diverse clinical manifestations of NK/TL.
