Overview

Extranodal NK-T-cell lymphoma is a type of lymphoma.[1] [2] [3] It is called "extranodal" to emphasize that the location is not in the lymph node. It is sometimes further qualified as "nasal type". It can be associated with Epstein Barr virus. [4] [5]

RNAi against EBNA1 has been proposed as a possible treatment. [6]
