Overview
In contrast with B-cell lymphoma, classification of such a rare neoplasm has been controversial. Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma may be classified according to WHO into 2 subtypes: NK cell-derived neoplasms, namely, aggressive NK cell leukemia and extra nodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, nasal type.[1] Based on the organ involvement, extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma may be classified into extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, and extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, extra nasal type which contains two major subclass: entropathy type and subcutaneous panniculitis-like.
Classification
In contrast with B-cell lymphoma, classification of such a rare neoplasm has been controversial, since the cytologic features have not been very useful. Further, by many entities, T-cell and natural killer cell (NK) neoplasms do not share any similar immunophenotype. because of such matter, clinical features became handier for classification and somehow even more important than the precise cell of origin.[2]
since the majority of 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 T/NK cell tumors are:[3]
- Extranodal NK/T , nasal type lymphoma
- Extranodal NK/T ,entropathy type lymphoma
- Extranodal NK/T ,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, nasal type
Based on the organ involvement, extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma may be classified into:[4][2]
- Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, nasal type
- Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, extra nasal type
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, nasal type |
|
| Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma, extra nasal type |
|
Natural Killer cell neoplasms are classified by the world health organization (WHO) into:[5]
- NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL)
- aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL)
- chronic lympho proliferative disorders of NK-cell
