Lymphogranulomatosis Cutis

Sezary's Syndrome

“…The dominant feature, however, was the invariable presence of the cellules monstreuses of S6zary. At one time these abnormal cells constituted 35% of the total white-cell count; at others their numbers were so reduced that special search was necessary to detect their presence (Table I) (Symmers, 1924;Miller, 1928;Wigley, 1937;Combes and Bluefarb, 1941) has perhaps been confused with Sezary's syndrome because of the superficial similarity of Reed-Stemnberg cells to the cellules monstreuses. Review of the clinical features of the five published cases and the two reported here shows that this condition seems to occur mainly in elderly females (Table IV).…”
