Abstract

In the present paper we describe clinical course of nasal T/NK cell lymphoma diagnosed on the basis of histopathologic examination of tumor lesion within the base of nose (Ann Arbor IIA). The patient received chemotherapy according to CN3OP (cyclophosphamide, mitoxantrone, vincristine, prednisone) and IVAC (etoposide, ifosfamide, cytarabine) protocols. His initial response to chemotherapy was good, but rapid disease progression within skin and lungs subsequently occured. The patient died due to cardio-pulmonary insufficiency 7 months after lymphoma diagnosis. This report reveals diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of the very rare nasal T/NK cell lymphoma.
