[Sézary syndrome].
Sézary syndrome is a form of leukemia-lymphoma characterized clinically by erythroderma, pruritus, adenopathy, and circulating atypical cells with cerebriform nuclei. Histologically, atypical lymphocytes in the dermis and Pautrier's microabscesses are often present in skin biopsy specimens. We herein report a typical case of Sézary syndrome showing T-suppressor-cell characteristics, and related literatures are reviewed.
