[Painful ischemia of the extremities with T-cell lymphoma].
Two years after the diagnosis of Sézary syndrome, a 50-year old female patient experienced attacks of painful ischemia of both hands and feet, leading to acral necrosis. Another 59-year old patient presented with severe pain in his feet, secondary to ischemia. This was the first symptom of a T-cell-chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Similar cases have only occasionally been described. The relationship between acral ischemia and T-cell-lymphoma is not clear but is discussed in this article.
