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 3-10% of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Asia and South America and less than 1% in Western countries.[1]
- 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.[2]
- 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.
