Abstract

Sezary syndrome is a rare form of primary cutaneous T cell lymphoma. A male patient of 37 years old was reported with multiple subcutaneous swelling at different parts of the body which were asymptomatic for the last 2 years. But he had persistent generalized itching, induration in skin surface and erythema for months. The disease was diagnosed by the presence of Sezary cells in the skin biopsy, peripheral blood smears and epidermotrophism of lymphocytes. The patient was treated by CHOP (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine and Prednisolone) therapy.
