Natural killer (NK) cell lymphoma of lung is very rare. We report a case of NK cell lymphoma presented in a 17‐year‐old male with bilateral pleural effusions and hemophagocytic lymphohistocytosis. Morphologic and immunohistochemical tests revealed an association of NK cell lymphoma with Epstein–Barr virus. A literature review helped identify other cases of patients with NK cell lymphoma, their treatment and outcomes. Pediatr Blood Cancer 2009;52:666–669. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
