Abstrakt: The extranodal natural killer (NK) T-cell lymphoma of nasal type is a form of lymphoma that falls within the WHO/EORTC 2018 classification of cutaneous T-cell lymphomas. It is characterized for being aggressive, infrequent, and destroying midline facial structures; however, it can also be in primary or secondary form at extranasal sites, such as the skin or the gastrointestinal tract, among others. We report the case of an 18-year-old patient with an extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma located in an extranasal site. The clinical presentation is characterized for being multifocal and with erythematous-violaceous plaques that progress to hemorrhagic blisters and necrotic ulcers. Although this type of lymphoma has been reported previously by others, the presence of blisters is an atypical finding, which we believe has been described only in one case in the medical literature.
