The Sézary syndrome.

Symptoms of the Sézary syndrome are described in a case history. Sézary's syndrome is a lymphoproliferative process of the skin, which eventually develops into an erythrodermia. Strange lymphocytes with a cerebriform chromatin structure, often with T-cell characteristics, circulate in the blood stream. In few instances they are also found in lymphnodes and bone marrow. This primarily benign disease can become malignant, possibly due to an overaggressive cytostatic therapy. Besides the hitherto unknown endogenous causes, exogenous factors cannot be excluded.

[The Sézary syndrome].

A case of the rare Sézary syndrome is described. The Sézary syndrome is a lymphoproliferative disorder of the skin, the lymph nodes, and to a smaller extent the bone marrow, which begins with erythrodermia. In the blood, strange circulating lymphocytes with a "cerebriform" chromatin structure and T-cell properties are found. The disease is primarly benign but may become malignant. The origin is unknown. Endogenic and exogenic factors are considered and relationships to other cutaneous lympho-proliferative diseases and treatment are discussed.
