Primary pulmonary extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (ENKTL), nasal type: Two case reports and literature review
Conclusion:
The diagnosis of ENKTL should be considered when patients present with fever and expansile consolidation of the lung not responding to antibiotics. The diagnosis depends on histopathology and immunophenotyping. Percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy is a safe and effective biopsy method. Chemotherapy may improve the prognosis, but this should be confirmed by prospective multicenter studies.
