Abstract:

Cutaneous Natural Killer (NK)/T cell lymphomas represent a rare type of lymphoid malignancy without nodal involvement and have been recently classified by TNM system to correctly differentiate them from Mycosis Fungoides (MF) and Se´Zary Syndrome (SS). Nasal type NKTCL involves the upper aero digestive tract with the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, paranasal sinuses, tonsils or palate. The treatment for this type of malignancy is not standardized, and surgical excision is mandatory to obtain complete molecular characterization of the lesion. A clinical case of primary forehead cutaneous Natural Killer (NK)/T cell lymphomas is described stressing the importance of rapid reconstructive procedure to remove rapidly and radically the lesion and avoid a complicated postoperative outcome. Skin micrografting has been well described in the literature for the treatment of complex wound from several types of benign lesions but this is the first clinical case reporting the application of the technique for tissue reconstruction in the oncology setting.
