Natural killer cell neoplasms / 中国实用内科杂志

Lymphoid neoplasms that are derived from natural killer(NK) cells are uncommon but distinct clinicopathologic disease entities.In recent years,the conceptual view of NK cell neoplasms has changed as the result of further understanding of the cell derivations and the characteristics of the malignant counterparts.In this article,we reviewed the recent concepts and progress in clinicopathologic features,pathogenesis,diagnosis,treatment strategies,and outcomes of this group of uncommon neoplasms.
