[Hemosiderin pigmentation in Sezáry's syndrome].
A 75 year old woman suffering from Sezary syndrome with edemas and excessive pigmentations is presented. In previous observations, pigmentation was caused by melanosis. In our patient it is caused by hemosiderosis. The origin of the pigmentation by a purpura-pigmentosa-progressiva-like mechanism or by the tumor disease itself is discussed.
