Nasal T-cell lymphoma: case report and review of diagnostic features.
A 73-year-old man was referred to us for evaluation of extensive nasal crusting and progressive erosion of the nasal midline structures. Clinical examination suggested that the patient had a T-cell lymphoma, a suspicion that was confirmed on immunohistochemical analysis. The patient was treated with combination chemo- and radiotherapy and exhibited a marked response. At the 14-month followup, he remained disease-free.
