[A case of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL)--various skin eruptions and virus-like particles in the fresh tumor cells].
A case of Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) with various skin eruptions is reported. This case was seropositive to ATL-associated antigen (ATLA). Discrete positive bands indicating the presence of ATLV proviral DNA were detected in the cellular DNA of skin tumors and peripheral lymphocytes. Electron microscopically, tumor cells contained large aggregations of virus-like particles in their cytoplasms, which appeared to be A particles and B particles.
