Case report highlights aggressive NK/T-cell lymphoma in a 36-year-old male, complicated by EBV and CMV co-infection.
Natural Killer (NK)/T-cell lymphoma is a rare but aggressive subtype of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, frequently associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and often complicated by rapid clinical deterioration. We present a diagnostically challenging case of a 36-year-old male with fulminant NK/T-cell lymphoma complicated by CMV and EBV co-infection, hepatic dysfunction, and suspected HLH. Despite multidisciplinary management, the patient succumbed due to rapid disease progression before full diagnostic confirmation and initiation of definitive therapy.
