Overview

The most common symptoms of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma include fever, weight loss, skin rash, night sweats, protrusion of eye, swelling of the face, discharge from the nose, nose bleeds, blockage of the nasal passages, chest pain, abdominal pain, bone pain, and painless swelling in the neck, axilla, groin, thorax, and abdomen. Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type, which is the most common sub type, is usually found as an ulcerative and necrotic granuloma in the nasal cavity, palate, and nasopharynx. Tumor can spread to surrounding tissue such as facial skin, paranasal sinus, and orbits, and cause exensive destruction of midline lesions. The most common symptoms at the time of diagnosis are nasal obstruction and bloody rhinorea.
