Lymphomas are the second most common malignancy in the oral cavity after squamous cell carcinoma. Non-specific clinical presentation of lymphoma mimics the other common oral pathologies thereby; delaying its diagnosis, ensuing definitive treatment, and leading to a guarded prognosis. The present clinical review and accompanying case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, progression, manifestations, and holistic management of a rare extra-nodal, nasal variant of Natural Killer T-cell lymphoma and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary coordination in the overall management of this aggressive tumor.
淋巴瘤是口腔中仅次于鳞状细胞癌的第二常见恶性肿瘤。淋巴瘤的非特异性临床表现与其他常见口腔疾病相似，因此会延迟其诊断、后续的确定性治疗，并导致预后不佳。本临床综述及随附病例报告强调了一种罕见的结外鼻型自然杀伤T细胞淋巴瘤的临床表现、诊断挑战、病程进展、表现及整体管理，并强调了跨学科协作在这种侵袭性肿瘤整体管理中的重要性。
