Use of Autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for a patient with primary nasal NK/T-cell lymphoma combined with hemophagocytic syndrome

Extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKTCL-NT) is a type of primary nasal peripheral T-cell lymphoma, which is a rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, especially with hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS), and can easily lead to clinical misdiagnosis. The disease is dangerous, it progresses rapidly, and the treatment is ineffective. This article reports a case of ENKTCL-NT with HPS, which involves the primary nasal cavity invading the oral cavity. Patients attain improved remission outcomes with autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in combination with chemotherapy. This paper reviews current domestic and international research and summarizes diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to enhance clinicians' comprehension of the disease.
