Most cases of ENKTL are nasal type, meaning they involve the upper aerodigestive tract. Extranasal ENKTL may involve the skin, testis, and gastrointestinal tract<ref name=":0" />. Bone marrow involvement is uncommon<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Wong|first=K. F.|last2=Chan|first2=J. K.|last3=Cheung|first3=M. M.|last4=So|first4=J.
