경구개에 발생한 말초성 T세포 림프종 1예

Abstract

Peripheral T cell neoplasms (PTCNs) comprise a group of uncommon and heterogenous lymphoid malignancies. They are more difficult to diagnose and treat and have a worse prognosis than B cell lymphomas. NK/T cell lymphoma is the most common histologic subtype in the head and neck. Unspecified type is the most common subtype of PTCNs but is not reportedin oral cavity or nasal cavity. We report a case of a perforating palatal ulceras a rare presentation of peripheral T cell lymphoma with a review of literature.
