Here, we report a case of a 49-year-old Japanese man with SS who did not present with erythroderma initially, but exhibited erythematous itchy papules symmetrically located on the legs and arms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Lymphadenopathy

  Sézary syndrome is a primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma characterized by the triad of erythroderma, lymphadenopathy and circulating atypical cells. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Fever

  Other signs and symptoms may include intense itchiness, scaling and peeling of the skin; fever; weight loss; hair loss; outward turning of the eyelids (ectropion); palmoplantar keratoderma; malformation of the nails; and hepatosplenomegaly. [diseaseinfosearch.org]

  The most commonly reported serious reactions are pneumonia (infection of the lungs), fever, infusion-related reactions and cellulitis (inflammation of the deep skin tissue). [ema.europa.eu]

  In contrast, Lundin et al. 20 reported grade 3 rigors in 18% of patients, grade 1–2 fever in 68%, grade 3 fever in 5%, and grade 3 fatigue in 9% of patients. [haematologica.org]

  He had no history of fever, night sweats, weight loss, jaundice, cough, joint pain, previous allergy or any other systemic symptoms. [omicsgroup.org]

• Short Arm

  In an additional patient (no. 10), a reciprocal translocation involved the short arm of chromosome 1 at 1p33, t(1; 4)(p33; p16) (Fig 3 ). In five patients, rearrangements resulted in complete or partial monosomy for the short arm of chromosome 8. [bloodjournal.org]

• Long Arm

  Partial monosomy for the long arm of chromosome 6 in two patients in the current series is of interest because the presence of at least three tumor-suppressor genes on the long arm of chromosome 6 has been suggested based on three regions of minimal molecular [bloodjournal.org]

• Pruritus

  Serum samples from the peripheral blood of 23 patients and 17 controls were analyzed for IL-31 abundance and correlated with disease stage and pruritus. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  We describe a case of a delayed diagnosis of Sezary syndrome in a patient with longstanding generalised pruritus, erythroderma, alopecia and nail dystrophy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Alopecia and ectropion are common, exfoliation and heat loss thru the skin are worrisome and infiltration of the lymph nodes occurs. Many of these patients have generalized pruritus and shaking chills at presentation. [dermnet.com]

• Excoriation

  The skin manifestations at diagnosis varied from patches to tumors often seen in mycosis fungoides, and other rarer findings such as excoriation, palmoplantar keratoderma and alopecia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Follicular Plugging

  A 40-year-old man presented with pruritic plaques affecting his head and trunk, characterized by follicular plugging. The histology was consistent with folliculotropic MF and T-cell gene analysis studies revealed a T-cell clone in the skin only. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Peripheral Neuropathy

  Abstract Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) is common, frequently limits chemotherapy dosing, and negatively impacts quality of life. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Currently, the disappearance of markers such as CD26, CD27 and CD7 from the cell surface of malignant T lymphocytes remains the most consistent feature of CTCL and is routinely used in the diagnostic workup. [atlasofscience.org]

The treatment was discontinued after 4 months due to adverse effects, with the patient showing a sustained response without disease progression after 13 months of follow-up. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Many other clinical, biological and pathological factors may help to distinguish groups at risk and predict prognosis more accurately. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It presents suddenly and is associated with a poor prognosis. Clinical recognition is crucial for the diagnostic process and initiation of appropriate treatment. [doi.org]

We then discuss updates in the etiology of this elusive disease and the genetic and molecular landscapes that define it. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology SS has been linked to a wide range of chromosomal anomalies, in particular rearrangements in the 6q23-27 region leading to alterations in the MYB proto-oncogene and the interleukin-22 receptor subunit alpha-2 gene ( IL22RA2 ), but its etiology [orpha.net]
