| Extranodal NK cell lymphoma probably was first reported by McBride as a disease which rapidly destructs nose and face with progressing necrotic [[granuloma]]. The natural history of extranodal [[NK cell]] lymphoma was generally aggressive and lethal, this disease was initially termed as "[[rhinitis]] gangrenosa progressiva". Since the lesions usually was in midline and was aggressive and lethal, the term "lethal midline [[granuloma]] (LMG)" was used. First known case of natural-killer-cell lymphoma was diagnosed in a 19-years old boy. The diagnosis of natural-killer-cell lymphoma was confirmed by pathology as [[Wegener's granulomatosis|Wegener's Granulomatosis]] was ruled out.In contrast with [[B-cell lymphoma]], the classification of such a rare [[neoplasm]] has been controversial, since the [[Cytological|cytologic]] features have not been very useful. Further, by many entities, T-cell and natural killer cell (NK) neoplasms do not share any similar immuno-[[phenotype]]. Because of such matters, clinical features became handier for classification and somehow even more important than the precise cell of origin. since the majority of [[Cytotoxic T-cells|cytotoxic T-cell]] and NK cell lymphomas are located out of [[lymph nodes]], the gene expressing cytotoxic molecules may predispose to [[apoptosis]] by [[tumor]] cells and by standard cells.Three major categories of [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma|extranodal T/NK cell]] tumors include: [[Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma]], nasal type lymphoma, [[Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma]], [[enteropathy]] type lymphoma, [[Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma]], [[subcutaneous]] panniculitis-like, [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]] may be classified according to [[WHO]] into 2 subtypes:, [[NK cell]]-derived [[neoplasms]], namely, aggressive NK cell [[leukemia]], [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma|Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma]], nasal type, Based on the organ involvement, [[extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]] may be classified into: [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]], nasal type, [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]], extra nasal type.[[Natural killer cell|NK cells]] are [[CD3]] and myloperoxidase negative on their surface. [[Natural killer cell|NK cell]]<nowiki/>s have [[germline]] configuration of T-cell receptor and immunoglobulin genes. [[NK cells]] originate from a bipotent NK/T-progenitor cell so they have a lot in common with T cells. [[NK cells]] express T-associate markers such as [[CD2]], [[CD3]]<nowiki/>e, [[CD7]], [[CD8]], [[CD16]], [[CD56]], [[CD57]]. Most tumors involve NK cells but also involve T cells as neoplastic cells, that is the main reason of classification as NK/T-cell lymphoma rather than NK-cell [[lymphoma]]. the immunophenotype of NK lymphoma cells is classically positive for [[CD2]], [[CD56]], and cytoplasmic [[CD3]] epsilon. they are negative for surface [[CD3]]. Unlike normal NK cells, the tumor cells are usually negative for [[CD7]] and [[CD16]]. they express cytotoxic granule associated proteins [[granzyme B]], T-cell restricted intracellular antigen (TIA-1), and [[perforin]]. [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma|NK/T cell lymphoma]] expressing [[CD56]] is rare but most commonly occurs int he head and neck region, skin, and soft tissue. genes involved in the pathogenesis of [[extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]] include.:[[HLA-DQ|HLA DQA1*0501]], [[HLA-DQ|HLA DQB1*0201]]. these genes also are relevant with [[celiac disease]].On gross pathology, angiocentric and angiodestructive pattern of growth with associated geographical [[necrosis]] and [[ulceration]] are characteristic findings of [[extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]].[[Coagulative necrosis]] and [[apoptotic]] bodies are frequently encountered., [[Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma]], nasal type occurs in nasal cavity and upper aerodigestive tract., [[Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma|Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma]], nasal type affects the nose and facial mid line exhibiting aggressive destruction., on microscopic histopathological analysis, medium sized tumor cells and polymorphic infiltrate of non-neoplastic inflammatory cells are characteristic findings of [[extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma]]. the tumor cells are small to medium in size with occasional large and anaplastic forms. the lymphoma cells may be admixed with a polymorphic infiltrate of nonneoplastic [[Inflammation|inflammatory]] cells including small [[lymphocytes]], [[plasma cells]], [[histiocytes]], and [[eosinophils]].Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma is caused by transition mutation of [[p53]]. [[P53]] overexpresion has assosiation with poor prognosis.Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as NK cell lukemia, [[lymphomatoid granulomatosis]], [[Diffuse large B cell lymphoma|EBV-positive diffuse large B cell lymphoma, NOS]], [[anaplastic large cell lymphoma]], non specific inflammatory process, [[enteropathy associated T cell lymphoma]], [[peripheral T cell lymphoma]], [[hepatosplenic T cell lymphoma]].

Common complications of extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma include [[hepatosplenomegaly]] and [[pancytopenia]]. Depending on the extent of the tumor at the time of diagnosis, the prognosis may vary. Prognosis is generally regarded as poor.Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma survival rate is not well predicted by [[Ann Arbor staging system]]. A new system was introduced based on [[B symptoms]], [[Ann Arbor Staging|Ann Arbor system]], [[LDH]] level, and regional [[lymphadenopathy]] combined.
