Overview
NK cell lymphoma shows a poor prognosis because of rapid local progression and distant metastasis.The median age of onset is approximately 50 years and it is common in elderly. extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease in children and often it is associated with mosquito-bite hypersensitivity or other EBV-associated disease.Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a rare disease. extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL) and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL) have a higher incidence in Asia, Central, and South America.NK T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NNKTL) consist 3000-10000 out of 100000 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Asia and South America and less than 1000 in 10000 patient in western countries
Epidemiology and Demographics
Mortality rate
- NK cell lymphoma shows a poor prognosis because of rapid local progression and distant metastasis.[1]
Age
- The median age of onset is approximately 50 years and it is common in elderly.
- Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare disease in children and often it is associated with mosquito-bite hypersensitivity or other EBV-associated disease.
Race
- Natural Killer (NK) cell lymphoma is a rare disease. NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL) and aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL) have a higher incidence in Asia, Central, and South America.
- Nk cell lymphoma is usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus infection.
Gender
- Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma shows male preponderance.
Region
- Extranodal NK T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NNKTL) consist 3000-10000 out of 100000 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in Asia and South America and less than 1000 in 10000 patient in western countries.
- It is estimated the incidence of NNKTL is higher in Asia by 10-folds.
