Background: NHL is comprised in a group of tumors arising from the lymphoreticular cell system. The causative factors for this condition are infective etiologies like EBV, HT cell leukemia virus h. pylori, HHV, hepatitis c and HIV and other causes being the chemoradiation therapy and certain chemical exposure like- herbicides etc. certain genetic disorders are also known to show association with NHL like SLE, klinefelter syndrome, ataxia etc. NHL in nose and PNS as primary lesion is a very rare entity.
Objective: The purpose of our study is to throw light on the significance of complete history, examination and significance of immunohistochemistry over CT and histopathology in patients presenting with nasal mass to diagnose such a rare entity which is easily missed.
Method: We report a case of 60 year male with right facial pain and right nasal obstruction who was diagnosed by immunohistochemistry.
Result: Computed tomography and histopathology revealed inflammatory pathology and polyp. But immunohistochemistry was consistent with non Hodgkin lymphoma- diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
Conclusion: With this study we emphasise the role of IHC as a routine investigation in all sinonasal masses for early diagnosing and managing such rare entity.
