A rare case of lethal midline granuloma posing a diagnostic challenge in COVID times and the response to chemotherapy

Lethal midline granuloma is a rare aggressive, mutilating disorder of the upper airways. It is most likely secondary to natural killer/T-cell lymphoma and is difficult to diagnose owing to the varied and nonspecific symptoms. It is usually prevalent in the fourth decade of life and carries a poor prognosis. Our patient was a 19-year-old male with disease duration of 3 months, was diagnosed with lethal midline granuloma based on clinical examination, histopathology, and immunohistochemistry. The patient responded well to the first cycle of chemotherapy.
