| Abstract |
|
Natural killer (NK)/T cell lymphoma is a lethal midline granuloma that produces necrotic and granulomatous lesions in the upper
respiratory tract, especially in the nasal cavity. This tumor affects the nose and midface, but can also arise in the skin, gastrointestinal
tract, testes, central nervous system, lungs, salivary glands, bone marrow, and larynx. Five to eight percent of extranodal
lymphomas involve the orbit, and 1.3~2.0% of these present as primary orbital tumors. The skin can also be the primary site of
NK/T cell lymphomas. Aside from affecting the nasal and facial skin, the tumor can involve the skin of the postauricular area, back,
trunk, and upper and lower extremities.
We present the case of a 37-year-old woman who had a nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with cutaneous and ocular involvement.
