ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the value of interim @*METHODS@#Twenty-one patients with ENKTL who were pathologically diagnosed at Shanghai General Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (Shanghai General Hospital) from January 2015 to December 2018 were retrospectively collected, and @*RESULTS@#After treatment, 11 patients had complete remission (CR), 3 had partial remission (PR), 1 had stable disease (SD), and 6 had disease progression (PD). The CR patients' △SUVmax was significantly higher than non-CR patients ［(66.07±22.33)% vs (36.87±23.28)%, t=2.927, P=0.009］. Calculated from the receiver operating curve (ROC), the optimal cut-off point of ΔSUVmax was 51.45%. The median follow-up time was 32 months. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that KPI, DS and ΔSUVmax had significance in predicting PFS and OS (P<0.05). COX regression analysis showed that DS was an independent risk factor affecting PFS (P<0.05), and KPI and ΔSUVmax were independent risk factors affecting OS (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Interim

RESUMEN El linfoma nasal de células T/NK es una neoplasia agresiva, infrecuente, con predilección por el sexo masculino. Representa el 1,5% del total de linfomas no Hodgkin, el grupo etáreo más afectado es entre 40 a 80 años. Su etiología es desconocida, pero se ha asociado con el virus de Epstein Barr. Se presenta el caso de una paciente mujer de 40 años, con dolor e induración de fosa nasal derecha asociado a secreción fétida, seropurulenta de 3 meses de evolución. Estudio histopatológico, reporta linfoma nasal de células T/NK. La paciente recibe quimioterapia, con mejoría clínica sustancial. El linfoma T/NK es una neoplasia con sintomatologia inespecífica, predominio que afecta nasofaringe, amígdalas y base de la lengua. Entre las manifestaciones encontramos dolor de garganta, obstrucción nasal, rinorrea, epistaxis y cefalea. El diagnóstico se sospecha con imágenes, pero es necesaria la confirmación histológica con marcadores de inmunohistoquímica CD45Ro, CD43, CD3, CD2, CD45Ro entre otros. Muchos casos suelen detectarse en fase tardía, cuando ya son evidentes los signos radiológicos de destrucción ósea. El diagnóstico diferencial incluye lesiones infecciosas o inflamatorias, la bola fúngica fue el diagnóstico inicial realizado en esta paciente. El tratamiento suele realizarse con radioterapia y quimioterapia.
ABSTRACT Nasal T-cell / NK lymphoma is an uncommon aggressive neoplasm with male predilection. It represents 1.5% of the total number of non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, the most affected age group is 40-80 years. Its etiology is unknown but has been associated with the Epstein Barr virus. We present the case of a female patient of 40 years, with pain and induration of the right nostril associated with fetid secretion, seropurulent of 3 months of evolution. Histopathological study, reports T-cell / NK nasal lymphoma. The patient receives chemotherapy, with substantial clinical improvement. T / NK lymphoma is a neoplasm with predominant non-specific symptomatology, affecting the nasopharynx, tonsils and base of the tongue. Among the manifestations we find sore throat, nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea, epistaxis and headache. Diagnosis is suspected with imaging, but histological confirmation with immunohistochemical markers CD45Ro, CD43, CD3, CD2, CD45Ro, among others is required. Many cases are usually detected in the late phase, when radiological signs of bone destruction are already visible. The differential diagnosis includes infectious or inflammatory lesions, the fungal ball was the initial diagnosis made in this patient. Treatment is usually done with radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

El linfoma T/NK extraganglionar tipo nasal es un linfoma extraganglionar, habitualmente expresa el fenotipo NK y VEB positivo. Cursa ocasionando necrosis y angioinvasión afectando de manera preferente estructuras mediofaciales. Característicamente es muy agresivo. Presentamos un caso con una sobrevida de siete meses a partir de los primeros síntomas y realizamos revisión de la literatura.
Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma nasal type, is an extranodal lymphoma, usually with an NK-cell phenotype and EBV possitive. It causes necrosis and angioinvasion, and it is most commonly presenting in the midfacial area. Characteristically it is very aggressive. A case with survival of seven months from the first symptoms is reported and a review of the literature is made.
