Sézary Syndrome as an Etiological Cause of Erythroderma: A Case Report

Abstract

Exfoliative erythroderma is a syndrome characterized by erythema and scaling that affects more than 90% of the body surface. In contrast, Sézary Syndrome is a rare and harmful variant of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, defined by a triad: circulation of neoplastic T-cells, erythroderma and lymphadenopathy, the latter of which may or may not be present. We report a case of an erythrodermic patient, with the etiological cause confirmed as Sézary Syndrome.
