Abstract

Nasal Natural Killer-Cell Lymphoma is an aggressive subtype of NHL even when it presents with localized disease. It is more common in Oriental than Western population. We report the case history of a white Caucasian male patient with this disease who died 5 months from diagnosis despite aggressive treatment with 2 different chemotherapy regimes and radiotherapy. We discuss the diagnosis, presentation, treatment and prognosis of this rare disease.
