Nasal T-cell lymphoma causally associated with Epstein-Barr virus: Clinicopathologic, phenotypic, and genotypic studies

Abstract

These data suggest that EBV-positive NTL may be derived from the lineage of NK-like T-cells or gamma delta T-cells, and that EBV may play a role in lymphomagenesis. Therefore, we propose that NTL which has peculiar clinical and histologic features could be classified as a new lymphoma entity.
