Abstract:
Gammadelta T cell lymphoma is usually either subcutaneous or hepato-splenic and involvement of other extranodal sites is rare. Here we report an unusual case of gammadelta T cell lymphoma involving the subcutaneous tissue, vocal cords, gastric mucosa and the central nervous system with a rapidly progressive clinical course and fatal outcome. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) was shown to be present in the tumor cells, and is thought to play a role in the pathophysiology of this particular case of lymphoma.
