Overview


Epidemiology and Demographics

Mortality rate

  • NK cell lymphoma shows a poor prognosis because of rapid local progression and distant metastasis.

Race

  • Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a rare disease. NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL) and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL) have a higher incidence in Asia, Central, and South America.
  • Nk cell lymphoma is usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.

Gender

  • Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma shows male preponderance.

Region

  • NK T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NNKTL) consist 3000-10000 out of 100000 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Asia and South America and less than 1% in Western countries.
  • It is estimated the incidence of NNKTL is higher in Asia by 10-folds.

Age

  • The median age of onset is approximately 50 years and it is common in elderly.
  • Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease in children and often it is associated with mosquito-bite hypersensetivity or other EBV-associated disease.
