Recurrence 14 Years After Initial Treatment of Extranodal NK/T Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type

Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) primarily involves the nasal cavity. Although patients might visit an otorhinolaryngologist with nasal symptoms, such as nasal obstruction and epistaxis, it would be difficult to make a diagnosis correctly. We present a case of ENKL in which the patie...

description Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) primarily involves the nasal cavity. Although patients might visit an otorhinolaryngologist with nasal symptoms, such as nasal obstruction and epistaxis, it would be difficult to make a diagnosis correctly. We present a case of ENKL in which the patient had been in remission after initial treatment and relapsed 14 years after treatment. The patient had a worsening of nasal symptoms before the recurrence, but on this occasion, treatment such as sinusitis was successful in alleviating the symptoms. Although recurrence of lymphoma 10 years after treatment is rare, the possibility of recurrence should always be considered in post-malignant lymphoma cases as with any malignant tumor.
