Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma of the nasal cavity developed in a patient with intestinal Epstein-Barr virus-positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative disorder.
Pathology, Research and Practice 2018 July
Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL) developed in a patient with intestinal Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive T/NK-cell lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD). The patient was a 46-year-old Chinese man who complained of diarrhea and abdominal pain without immune-deficiency. Endoscopy demonstrated ileum ulcers like Crohn's disease, without histological granulomas. His symptoms continued waxing and waning for 3 years until he developed overt lymphoma (ENKL) in the nasal cavity. The ileum lesions exacerbated into a large deep ulcer, and the biopsy specimens from the ileum, including the one 3 years ago, showed infiltration of small lymphocytes containing many EBV-positive T/NK cells without atypia. Thus, the patient illness of intestine was revealed as intestinal EBV-positive T/NK-cell LPD, which might be closely associated with development of ENKL in this patient. In cases of inflammatory bowel disease without typical clinical courses and histological findings, check-up of EBV in the biopsy might help correct diagnosis.
