Online ahead of print. ABSTRACT We describe a case of nasal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in a 79-year-old Chinese patient accompany with nasal myiasis. The first 2 biopsies in this case were false negative. Subsequently, nasal maggots developed in this patient. After removing all maggots under nasal endoscopy, the patient continued to have recurrent fever and was transferred to a higher hospital for fu rther treatment, in which he received a third biopsy. Unfortunately, several hours after the biopsy, the patient died for severe nasal bleeding. The final biopsy result indicated the neoplasm of the left nasal cavity was non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This case illustrates the importance of repeated biopsies for nasal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma if necessary. Nasal myiasis is a secondary disease of nasal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in this case.
