title: [Intranasal non-Hodgkin lymphoma diagnosed as subsidiary finding by epistaxis].
abstract: A 84 year-old woman was transferred to the ENT ward for treatment of epistaxis. An anterior rhinoscopy revealed a posterior bleeding source which was cauterised. A submucosal bulge was found in the cavity floor and biopsied. Histologic examination showed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Oncologic examination disclosed Ann Arbor stage 1A. The patient was treated with chemotherapy followed by involved field radiation therapy. She responded well to the therapy. Intranasal lymphoma is rare in Denmark with an incidence rate of 0,1-0,2 per 100,000 per year.
