Overview
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 was ruled out.
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- Extranodal NK cell lymphoma probably was first reported by McBride as a disease which rapidly destructs nose and face with progressing necrotic granuloma.[1]
- The natural history of extranodal NK cell lymphoma was generally aggressive and lethal, this disease was initially termed as "rhinitis gangrenosa progressiva".[2]
- Since the lesions usually was in midline and was aggressive and lethal, the term "lethal midline granuloma (LMG)" was used.[3]
- First known case of natural-killer-cell lymphoma was a 19-years old man, with a tumor affecting nasal cavity.[4]
- Natural-Killer-cell lymphoma was diagnosed as "Granuloma Gangraenescens" which was considered as unclassified sarcoma.
- The diagnosis of natural-killer-cell lymphoma was confirmed by pathology as Wegener's Granulomatosis was ruled out.
- In 1988, 33 years after the first confirmed diagnosis of NK cell lymphoma, the patient had a relapse with skin lesions which progressed with nasal involvement in 2002, and the final mortal relapse was in 2003 with the leukemic disease.
- Reanalysis of stored slides of 1965 revealed an immunophenotype typical of NK cell which was similar to those found in 1998 skin lesions, 2002 nasal tissue, and 2003 blood.
- Biopsy specimen collected in 1998 and 2002 contained EBV virus encoded RNA transcripts and then diagnosed as a natural-killer-cell lymphoma.
