Abstract

Hematolymphoid neoplasms of the sinonasal tract are rare and the majority represents non-Hodgkin lymphomas. This review will focus on morphologic, immunophenotypic, and genetic characteristics of the most common types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, namely diffuse large B cell lymphoma and extranodal natural killer/T-cell lymphoma, nasal type, but also include the discussion of less frequent other hematolymphoid entities, such as extranodal plasmacytomas and Rosai-Dorfman disease.

Keywords: DLBCL; Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma; Plasmacytoma; Rosai–Dorfman disease; Sinonasal tract.
