Sézary syndrome (SS) is a rare cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. SS usually develops de novo. We describe a 23-year-old man with a proven history of severe atopic dermatitis since childhood, who developed SS. This case contributes to the discussion about the possibility of a relationship between inflammatory dermatitis, atopy and subsequent SS. We provide criteria that should be fulfilled to define such an association.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
