Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical features and misdiagnosis of nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with outstanding performance in ocular symptoms.
METHOD:Clinical data of 11 patients who had nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with the outstanding performances in ocular symptoms during 2009 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULT:The rate of misdiagnosis in the first diagnosis and first pathological diagnosis were 72.7% and 27.3% respectively. Nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with obvious ocular symptoms developed quickly and had almost special imaging findings.
CONCLUSION:Nasal NK/T cell lymphoma with outstanding performance of ocular symptoms can be easily misdiagnosed. Comprehensive consideration of the clinical features, imaging findings and pathological examination do help to make accurate diagnosis early.
