T-cell lymphomas, particularly NK/T-cell lymphomas are rare post transplantation malignancies. Only a few cases have been described. These tumors behave aggressively and the outcome is poor. We present here a case of NK/T-cell lymphoma who presented to us with an orbital swelling 9 years after renal transplantation, along with the review of literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of NK/T-cell lymphoma post-renal transplantation reported from India.
T细胞淋巴瘤,尤其是NK/T细胞淋巴瘤是移植后罕见的恶性肿瘤。仅有少数病例被描述。这些肿瘤侵袭性强,预后较差。我们在此报告一例肾移植9年后出现眼眶肿物的NK/T细胞淋巴瘤病例,并对文献进行综述。据我们所知,这是印度报道的首例肾移植后NK/T细胞淋巴瘤病例。
