Sinonasal lymphoma is a rare disease that poses difficulties in diagnosis. A fifty-year-old male patient presented with a mass in the nasal vestibulum that destroyed the left nasal ala. Nocardiosis was considered in the light of the initial biopsy findings; however, microbiologic studies were not consistent with pathologic examination. A subsequent biopsy was obtained, which resulted in the diagnosis of peripheral T-cell lymphoma. Following the diagnosis, the patient was referred to the oncology clinic to receive chemotherapy. He died during the second course of chemotherapy.
