摘要
•Aggressive NK-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ANKL) is a rare natural killer (NK)-cell malignancy, and although it typically presents as rapidly progressive disease, cases may present more indolently, progressing over months rather than weeks. •Unlike the more common extranodal NK-cell leukemia/lymphoma, ANKL may not involve the nasopharynx and can be Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) negative. •Diagnosing ANKL can be challenging. Although not yet standard of care, next-generation sequencing and digital image analysis can be used to clarify this rare diagnosis and confirm EBV negativity. •Treatment of ANKL utilizes asparaginase-based regimens, unlike the anthracycline-based regimens used in peripheral T-cell lymphomas or myeloid disorders. Ensuring the correct diagnosis is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment regimen for this uncommon disease. •Aggressive NK-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ANKL) is a rare natural killer (NK)-cell malignancy, and although it typically presents as rapidly progressive disease, cases may present more indolently, progressing over months rather than weeks. •Unlike the more common extranodal NK-cell leukemia/lymphoma, ANKL may not involve the nasopharynx and can be Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) negative. •Diagnosing ANKL can be challenging.
