Extranodal Natural Killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, is rare and frequently found in Asia and South America. It is rarely found in the United States, mainly in the immigrant population. We present a 26-year-old male from Central America who was found to have disseminated NK/T-cell lymphoma. Through this article, we explain how we manage our patient and try to consolidate the treatment modalities for different stages of the disease.
