Analysis of fifty-seven cases of nasal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma: a
retrospective study
Abstract
•Primary nasal lymphoma is mainly non-Hodgkin lymphoma; NK/T-cell
lymphoma is the most common type. •Nasal non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma mainly
occurs in middle-aged and older men. •Clinical symptoms of patients with
nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma are unspecific and the early symptoms are
atypical. The main signs, changes in nasal microbiota, nasal mucosa, and
surrounding organs, are easily misdiagnosed as sinusitis and nasal
polyps, complicating patient awareness at the early stage. •Nasal
NK/T-cell lymphoma is rare and clinically highly aggressive with a high
recurrence rate and poor prognosis. Therefore, early detection and
diagnosis are crucial. •Clinicopathological manifestations of nasal
non-Hodgkin lymphoma are complex, and the final pathological
classification needs to be confirmed using pathology and
immunohistochemistry.
