Abstract
Nasofacial NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare clinical entity characterized by destruction and mutilation of the nasofacial area. It has unknown etiology, often affect face, nose, paranasal sinuses, palate, oral cavity and surrounding structures. As the clinical manifestations are often variable and non-specific, it may obscure the exact diagnosis, so it may delay the treatment. We present a case report of nasofacial NK/T-cell lymphoma in a 56Â years old male who gave a 3Â months history of clinical manifestation with destruction of nasofacial area. After confirmed diagnosis, a combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy were offered to the patient who responded well to combination therapy.
