title: NK/T-cell lymphoma in a child with hypersensitivity to mosquito bites.
abstract: Hypersensitivity to mosquito bite (HMB) is defined as intense skin reactive lesion after mosquito bite. However, some kind of malignant tumor is closely associated with HMB, especially natural killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma. We described a nasal-type NK/T-cell lymphoma in a 9-year-old girl after a history of 2 years earlier of HMB. Pathologic evaluation revealed the typical histologic features of NK/T-cell lymphoma, and the dermal and subcutaneous inflammatory reaction of HMB lesions. HMB is rarely reported and should be kept in mind as a clinical sign of subsequent NK/T-cell lymphoma in Asian country where HMB is relatively frequently encountered.
