Intraepithelial atypical lymphocytes in oral lesions of Behçet's syndrome.
Atypical lymphocytes with deep nuclear indentations, identical to those observed in Sézary syndrome and mycosis fungoides, were demonstrated by electron microscopy in the prickle-cell layer of the oral epithelium of patients with Behçet's syndrome. Many of these cells were present in association with macrophages.
