Epidemiology and Demographics
The main demographic group at risk is the pediatric population. Its seen mainly in children and adolescents from asia, central and south america and mexico. As well as other NK-cell lymphomas, EBV-positive lymphomas are associated with a deficient ctytotoxic immune response to EBV[1]. Adults are rarely affected.
