title: [Diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of primary non-Hodgkin's lymphoma of the nose].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To Study the diagnosis of primary nasal non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and to find the relationship between its classification, stage and prognosis.
  
  
  METHODS
  The data of 10 cases with primary nasal NHL documented pathologically were analysed retrospectively.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The classification and stage were related to the prognosis significantly. Following up seven cases, 5T-ML with severe systemic symptoms died 4-6 months after diagnosis and treatment. One earlier T-ML is survival till now, and another B-ML was alive for 2.5 years.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Early diagnosis of NHL of nose based on pathology is very important for treatment and prognosis. Repeat biopsies will be necessary when the diagnosis is suspected. The prognosis of late T-ML is disastrous.
