ABSTRACT
Sezary syndrome, one of the cutaneous T-cell lymphomas, is a rare cause of generalised exfoliative dermatitis. We report a case of Sezary syndrome in a 64-year-old man who had persistent erythroderma for four years and who subsequently developed inguinal lymphadenopathy and marked leukocytosis. We review the pathomechanism and management of this rare condition.
Our patient is a 64-year-old Malay man who first presented in July 1993 with a history of rash starting on the hands 1½ years earlier progressing to generalised eczema 5 months prior to consultation. He was diagnosed to have generalised exfoliative dermatitis (GED).
