Extranodal natural killer NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare malignancy. The disease is common in some Asian countries such as China, Japan as well as in South America. We present a case of extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma which presented as a pharyngeal ulcer in a 35-year-old Caucasian man.

D014456	Ulcer	A lesion on the surface of the skin or a mucous surface, produced by the sloughing of inflammatory necrotic tissue.	Ulcers
D049268	Positron-Emission Tomography	An imaging technique using compounds labelled with short-lived positron-emitting radionuclides (such as carbon-11, nitrogen-13, oxygen-15 and fluorine-18) to measure cell metabolism. It has been useful in study of soft tissues such as CANCER; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; and brain. SINGLE-PHOTON EMISSION-COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY is closely related to positron emission tomography, but uses isotopes with longer half-lives and resolution is lower.

D054391	Lymphoma, Extranodal NK-T-Cell	An extranodal neoplasm, usually possessing an NK-cell phenotype and associated with EPSTEIN-BARR VIRUS. These lymphomas exhibit a broad morphologic spectrum, frequent necrosis, angioinvasion, and most commonly present in the midfacial region, but also in other extranodal sites.
