Abstract
Abstract: Natural killer/T-cell lymphoma (NKTCL) is a subtype of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by rapid progression. It infrequently involves the adrenal glands and exhibits swift advancement. A 52-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with bilateral renal pain. The patient was diagnosed with adrenal NKTCL by puncture biopsy and subsequently underwent a modified SMILE chemotherapy regimen at our institution. During the initial stages of chemotherapy, the patient experienced myelosuppression, which resulted in a severe infection, shock, and eventual death. The SMILE regimen is associated with adverse effects and carries the risk of fatality due to complications related to chemotherapy. Therefore, there is an immediate need for novel chemotherapy regimens that demonstrate efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.
