Nasal T-cell lymphoma, often misdiagnosed as midline lethal granuloma (MLG), can present insidiously. This case highlights a delayed diagnosis of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) related T-cell lymphoma.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Hematology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Nasal lymphomas constitute a small percentage of extranodal lymphomas, often posing diagnostic challenges due to variable cell populations.
  • Extranodal lymphomas are predominantly B-cell in origin, but T-cell lymphomas are associated with midline lethal granuloma (MLG).

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old Jamaican female presented with recurrent nasal lesions initially diagnosed as nonspecific granuloma for 18 years.
  • At age 34, the lesions were diagnosed as human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) related T-cell lymphoma, suggesting an earlier onset.

Findings:

  • The case illustrates a T-cell lymphoma associated with MLG, emphasizing the T-cell origin in such cases.
  • The patient received radiotherapy (4000 cGy) to the primary site, achieving 7 years of disease-free status.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering T-cell lymphoma in the differential diagnosis of chronic nasal granulomatous lesions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of nasal T-cell lymphoma is crucial for effective treatment and patient outcomes.
