title: Massive acroosteolysis in adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma.
abstract: Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma is a relatively uncommon disease, most often found in Japan, the Caribbean, the southeastern United States, and South America. To date there have been few reports of its skeletal manifestations. A case is reported in a 44-year-old man in which a short history of swelling of the hands and feet and painful motion in the fingers was followed by the rapid development of severe acroosteolysis.
