Natural killer/T-cell nasal-type lymphoma: unusual primary spinal tumor.
A natural killer/T-cell lymphoma originating in the spine of a 60-year-old man is first reported, along with a brief review of the literature on the topic. ⋯ NK/T-cell lymphomas originated at other sites but nasal cavity/nasopharynx do not present typical clinical features and symptoms in the absence of lymphadenopathy.

The unfavorable prognosis of this tumor emphasized the need for novel molecular targets and more effective therapies.
