Summary T/natural killer (NK)‐cell lymphoma is a subtype of non‐Hodgkin's lymphoma, with frequent cutaneous involvement; it follows an aggressive course. Most cases are reported in Asia, and typically present with nasopharyngeal involvement. There is a distinct variant known as blastoid T/NK‐cell lymphoma, which affects elderly, non‐Asian patients, with absence of nasal involvement. We report a middle‐aged caucasian man who had blastoid T/NK‐cell lymphoma with nasal involvement.
