==Overview==
 
Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma was first discovered by Adachi, an American hematologist, in 1994 following an unusual presentation of cutaneous lymphoma that express CD4 and CD56 antigens but no other T cell and B cell antigens. The deletion in ''5q'' has been associated with the development of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma. Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other malignancies such as [[acute myeloid leukemia]], human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma, primary and secondary cutaneous pleomorphic T-cell lymphomas, undifferentiated carcinoma, and [[malignant melanoma]]. Blastic NK cell lymphoma is more commonly observed among middle-aged or elderly patients. The mean age at diagnosis is 66 years.<ref name="HouJaworski2015">{{cite journal|last1=Hou|first1=Steve|last2=Jaworski|first2=Joseph|last3=Swami|first3=Vanlila|last4=Heintzelman|first4=Rebecca|last5=Cusack|first5=Carrie|last6=Chung|first6=Christina|last7=Peck|first7=Jeremy|last8=Fanelli|first8=Matthew|last9=Styler|first9=Michael|last10=Rizk|first10=Sanaa|title=Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm with absolute monocytosis at presentation|journal=Pathology and Laboratory Medicine International|year=2015|pages=7|issn=1179-2698|doi=10.2147/PLMI.S71492}}</ref>Males are more commonly affected with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma than females. Prognosis is generally poor, and the median survival rate is 15 months. Symptoms of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma may include nodules, plaques and patches of variable sizes on skin. Immunohistochemical staining is positive for r CD4 and CD56, with variable positivity for CD43, TdT, and CD68. The mainstay of therapy for blastic natural killer cell lymphoma is chemotherapy with CHOP or COP-like regimens.
==Pathophysiology==
Blastic NK cell lymphoma is a type of [[lymphoma]]. It does not appear to be associated with [[Epstein Barr virus]].<ref name="pmid9192774">{{cite journal |author=Chan JK, Sin VC, Wong KF, ''et al'' |title=Nonnasal lymphoma expressing the natural killer cell marker CD56: a clinicopathologic study of 49 cases of an uncommon aggressive neoplasm |journal=Blood |volume=89 |issue=12 |pages=4501–13 |year=1997 |month=June |pmid=9192774 |doi= |url=http://www.bloodjournal.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=9192774}}</ref>

Overview

Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma was first discovered by Adachi, an American hematologist, in 1994 following an unusual presentation of cutaneous lymphoma that express CD4 and CD56 antigens but no other T cell and B cell antigens. The deletion in 5q has been associated with the development of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma. Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma must be differentiated from other malignancies such as acute myeloid leukemia, human T-cell lymphotropic virus 1 associated adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma, cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma, primary and secondary cutaneous pleomorphic T-cell lymphomas, undifferentiated carcinoma, and malignant melanoma. Blastic NK cell lymphoma is more commonly observed among middle-aged or elderly patients. The mean age at diagnosis is 66 years.[1]Males are more commonly affected with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma than females. Prognosis is generally poor, and the median survival rate is 15 months. Symptoms of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma may include nodules, plaques and patches of variable sizes on skin. Immunohistochemical staining is positive for r CD4 and CD56, with variable positivity for CD43, TdT, and CD68. The mainstay of therapy for blastic natural killer cell lymphoma is chemotherapy with CHOP or COP-like regimens.

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • The prevalence of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma is unknown as it is an extremely rare disorder.[63]

Age

  • Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma is more commonly observed amongmiddle-aged or elderly patients. The mean age at diagnosis is 66 years.[1]

Gender

  • Males are more commonly affected with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma than females.

Natural History, Complications and Prognosis

  • The majority of patients with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma have an aggressive clinical course.
  • Prognosis is generally poor, and the median survival rate is 15 months.[8]

Diagnosis

Symptoms

  • Symptoms of blastic natural killer cell lymphoma may include:
  • Nodules, plaques and patches of variable sizes on skin

Physical Examination

  • Physical examination may be remarkable for:
  • Nodules, plaques and patches of variable sizes on skin
A plaque-like pigmented bruised rash over the patient’s trunk (A) and face (B)[63]

Laboratory Findings

  • There are no specific laboratory findings associated with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma.

Imaging Findings

  • There are no imaging study findings associated with blastic natural killer cell lymphoma

Other Diagnostic Studies

  • Blastic natural killer cell lymphoma may also be diagnosed using immunochemistry.
  • Immunohistochemical staining is positive for r CD4 and CD56, with variable positivity for CD43, TdT, and CD68.

Treatment

Medical Therapy

  • The mainstay of therapy for blastic NK cell lymphoma is chemotherapy with CHOP or COP-like regimens.
  • Immunomodulation or immunotherapy with IL-3 or with antiCD123 antibody is also being considered for chemotherapy-resistant patients.

Prevention

  • There are no primary preventive measures available for blastic natural killer cell lymphoma.
