A distinction is made between the nasal forms, characterized by primary involvement of the nasal cavity, and the extranasal forms. Primary skin involvement is highly rare. Diagnosis is based on immunohistochemical studies. Treatment includes chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This type of lymphoma has a poor prognosis even with treatment.
