Lymphomas are the second most common malignancy in the oral cavity after squamous cell carcinoma. Non-specific clinical presentation of lymphoma mimics the other common oral pathologies thereby; delaying its diagnosis, ensuing definitive treatment, and leading to a guarded prognosis. The present clinical review and accompanying case report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges, progression, manifestations, and holistic management of a rare extra-nodal, nasal variant of Natural Killer T-cell lymphoma and underscores the importance of interdisciplinary coordination in the overall management of this aggressive tumor.
