ABSTRACT
We herein report a case of nasal type T/natural killer(NK)-cell lymphoma(TNKCL). This lymphoma is characterized by the expression of CD2, CD43 and NCAM(CD56) antigen, an aggressive clinical course, frequent extranodal spreading, a strong association with Epstein-Barr virus(EBV), and the absence of T-cell receptor(TCR) gene rearrangement. NCAM antigen is known to be a possible determinant of extranodal dissemination of peripheral T-cell lymphoma(PTCL). The patient is a 70-year-old male with skin lesion on his forearm. Histopathological and immunohistochemical studies were diagnostic of EBV-associated TNKCL. Untill now, he has failed to respond to anticancer therapy.
