Introduction: Extranodal NK/T-Cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTLN) is a disease that mainly affects the nasal cavity and the paranasal sinuses. Early nasal symptoms are nonspecific, simulating sinus infection. Lymphomas constitute 2.5% of malignant tumors of the head and neck, representing the second most common neoplasm in this segment. Primary nasal lymphoma is a rare extranodal tumor and represents approximately 0.5% of all extranodal lymphomas in this location. Primary nasal lymphoma derives from the T lineage in around 75% of cases. T-cell lymphomas are highly associated with Epstain Bar virus and more frequent in eastern countries. Although this lymphoma is sensitive to radiotherapy, it is more often resistant to chemotherapy agents than other lymphomas. A.R.S, 80 years old, with a history of right nasal obstruction, self-limiting epistaxis and nasal obstruction. Anterior RHINOSCOPE showed a lesion in the right nasal cavity, without progression of the flexible optic. Contrast-enhanced CT showed expansive formation of well-defined borders, with homogeneous contrast uptake and intimate relationship. An excisional biopsy was performed, which showed T-cell lymphoma, and was referred for follow-up and treatment with hematology. Objective: Report a case of nasosinusal T-cell lymphoma and review the literature about the subject Conclusion: Although rare, the diagnosis of lymphoma should be considered in cases of nasosinusal complaints, as early diagnosis improves survival as it prevents metastases, growth and local destruction.
