Natural killer (NK) cells are large granular lymphocytes that mediate cytotoxic reactions which are not restricted by the major histocompatibility complex. In recent years it has become apparent that a minor proportion of malignant lymphomas expresses an NK-cell phenotype defined by its reactivity with the CD56 antibody. Primary purely cutaneous CD56 + lymphomas have rarely been reported. They share a generally aggressive course and are highly associated with Epstein-Barr virus. We describe a patient with a primary cutaneous nasal-type T/NK-cell lymphoma that presented as a haemophagocytic syndrome and showed an aggressive clinical course.
