Mosquito Bite-Induced Localized NK/T-Cell Lymphoma Relapsed in a Patient with Complete Remission of Extranodal NK/T-Cell Lymphoma, Nasal Type
We report a rare case of localized NK/T-cell lymphoma following a mosquito bite after achieving complete response of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL). T cells and NK cells infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lead to NK/T-cell lymphoma, including ENKL. Lymphoma related to mosquito bi...

| description | We report a rare case of localized NK/T-cell lymphoma following a mosquito bite after achieving complete response of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type (ENKL). T cells and NK cells infected by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) lead to NK/T-cell lymphoma, including ENKL. Lymphoma related to mosquito bites usually requires a prolonged treatment course, and the disease onset of hypersensitivity begins in early childhood. In the current case, the patient had no history of hypersensitivity to mosquito bites. We speculate that the latently EBV-infected NK/T cells in the blood were reactivated by mosquito gland antigens, expanded abnormally, and accumulated at the site of the mosquito bite. |
