Abstract
Extranodal Natural killer/T (NK/T) cell lymphoma nasal type is an aggressive non?Hodgkin lymphoma and has a constant association with Epstein?Barr virus (EBV) infection. Approximately more than 75% cases are located in upper aero?digestive tract, of which stomach is a very rare site. Very few cases of gastric extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma have been reported in the literature. A 22?year?old male patient presented with complaints of abdominal pain and hematemesis. Endoscopy showed a large ulcer in the stomach. Partial gastrectomy done and histopathology showed transmural infiltration by intermediate size atypical lymphoid cells which are immunopositive for CD3, CD56, TIA, EBV?encoded RNA (EBER) and negative for CD4, CD8, CD20. A diagnosis of extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma nasal type was made.
