Se ha observado una frecuente asociación con el virus de Epstein-Barr, de difícil tratamiento. Se presenta un caso con buena respuesta terapéutica a la radioterapia.
ABSTRACT
Nasal T cell/natural killer lymphoma was defined and described, in 2001, by the World Health Organization (WHO). It typically appears in the nasal cavity and maxillary sinuses, showing an aggressive clinical course, characterized by destruction of surrounding tissue. A frequent association with Epstein-Barr virus has been reported, which hampers the treatment. We present a case with good therapeutic response to radiotherapy.
