Favor one of the aggressive cytotoxic TCLs either: extranodal NK-TCL or gamma-delta TCL. Will ask for CD3, CD5, CD7, CD4, CD8, CD30, TIA, Granzyme, CD56, TCRgamma, EBER.

First hypothesis: extranodal (and extranasal) NK-T cell lymphoma. CD56 and EBER are of great help. Second hypothesis: infectious disease. I would perform Grocott stain and look for leishmania as well.

I don't know what kind of lymphoma this is, without IHC. CD56+/EBER+ Ly is a nice suggestion.
